Dark photon limits: A handbook

A Caputo, AJ Millar, CAJ O'Hare, E Vitagliano - Physical Review D, 2021 - APS
The dark photon is a massive hypothetical particle that interacts with the Standard Model by
kinetically mixing with the visible photon. For small values of the mixing parameter, dark …

[图书][B] The physics of the dark photon: a primer

M Fabbrichesi, E Gabrielli, G Lanfranchi - 2021 - Springer
New Particles Beyond the Standard Model have always been thought to be charged under
at least some of the same gauge interactions of ordinary particles. Although this assumption …

Axion star explosions: A new source for axion indirect detection

M Escudero, CK Pooni, M Fairbairn, D Blas, X Du… - Physical Review D, 2024 - APS
If dark matter is composed of axions, then axion stars form in the cores of dark matter halos.
These stars are unstable above a critical mass, decaying to radio photons that heat the …

Search for dark photons with superconducting radio frequency cavities

A Romanenko, R Harnik, A Grassellino, R Pilipenko… - Physical review …, 2023 - APS
We conduct the first “light-shining-through-wall”(LSW) search for dark photons using two
state-of-the-art high-quality-factor superconducting radio frequency (SRF) cavities—Dark …

Photon-dark photon conversion with multiple level crossings

N Brahma, A Berlin, K Schutz - Physical Review D, 2023 - APS
Dark photons can oscillate into Standard Model (SM) photons via kinetic mixing. The
conversion probability depends sensitively on properties of the ambient background, such …

Millicharged relics reveal massless dark photons

A Berlin, JA Dror, X Gan, JT Ruderman - Journal of High Energy Physics, 2023 - Springer
A bstract The detection of massless kinetically-mixed dark photons is notoriously difficult, as
the effect of this mixing can be removed by a field redefinition in vacuum. In this work, we …

Radio excess from stimulated dark matter decay

A Caputo, H Liu, S Mishra-Sharma, M Pospelov… - Physical Review D, 2023 - APS
Despite an intense theoretical and experimental effort over the past decade, observations of
the extragalactic radio background at multiple frequencies below 10 GHz are not understood …

Dark photon dark matter in the presence of inhomogeneous structure

SJ Witte, S Rosauro-Alcaraz, SD McDermott… - Journal of High Energy …, 2020 - Springer
A bstract Dark photon dark matter will resonantly convert into visible photons when the dark
photon mass is equal to the plasma frequency of the ambient medium. In cosmological …

Swampland bounds on dark sectors

M Montero, JB Muñoz, G Obied - Journal of High Energy Physics, 2022 - Springer
A bstract We use Swampland principles to theoretically disfavor regions of the parameter
space of dark matter and other darkly charged particles that may exist. The Festina Lente …

High-energy neutrinos from millicharged dark matter annihilation in the Sun

A Berlin, D Hooper - Physical Review D, 2024 - APS
Millicharged dark matter particles can be efficiently captured by the Sun, where they
annihilate into tau leptons, leading to the production of high-energy neutrinos. In contrast to …
