We obtain the first cosmological constraints on interactions between dark matter and protons within the formalism of nonrelativistic effective field theory developed for direct detection. For each interaction operator in the effective…
We study interactions of electro-magnetic fields with the curvature tensor of the form $\lambda R_{\mu \nu \alpha \beta}F^{\mu \nu}F^{\alpha \beta}$. Such coupling terms though are invariant under general coordinate transformation and CPT,…
The exchange of spin-0 or spin-1 bosons between fermions or spin-polarised macroscopic objects gives rise to various spin-dependent potentials. We derive the coordinate-space non-relativistic potentials induced by the exchange of such…
Dirac fermion dark matter models with heavy $Z^{\prime}$ mediators are subject to stringent constraints from spin-independent direct searches and from LHC bounds, cornering them to live near the $Z^{\prime}$ resonance. Such constraints can…
We quantitatively discuss the possibility of deriving model-independent constraints on the general four-fermion contact interaction couplings, from the currently available data on the two-fermion production processes $e^+e^-\to\mu^+\mu^-$,…
Mott insulating ultracold gases posses a unique whole-atom exchange interaction which enables large quantum fluctuations between the Zeeman sublevels of each atom. By strengthening this interaction---either through the use of large-spin…
It is usually assumed that WIMPs interact through spin-independent and spin-dependent interactions. Interactions which carry additional powers of the momentum transfer, q^2, are assumed to be too small to be relevant. In theories with new…
Massive bosons, such as light scalars and vector bosons, can lead to instabilities of rotating black holes by the superradiance effect, which extracts energy and angular momentum from rapidly-rotating black holes effectively. This process…
Recent experimental data show an unexpectedly large spin alignment of $\phi$ mesons in high-energy heavy-ion collisions, which can be explained by short-distance fluctuations of strong-force fields (vector $\phi$ fields) within the…
Development of new techniques to search for particles beyond the standard model is crucial for understanding the ultraviolet completion of particle physics. Several hypothetical particles are predicted to mediate exotic spin-dependent…
Background: The recent disagreement between the proton charge radius extracted from Lamb shift measurements of muonic and electronic hydrogen invites speculation that new physics may be to blame. Several proposals have been made for new…
We discuss the possible existence of new long-range forces mediated by spin-1 or spin-0 particles. They would add their effects to those of gravity, and could lead to apparent violations of the Equivalence Principle. Informations on the…
We study the influence of leptophilic dark matter interactions on decays of muons and ground state mesons in existing experiments. We consider a secluded dark sector exclusively interacting with leptons via either a (leptophilic) scalar or…
Interactions in an ultracold boson-fermion mixture are often manifested by elastic collisions. In a mixture of a condensed Bose gas (BEC) and spin polarized degenerate Fermi gas (DFG), fermions can mediate spin-spin interactions between…
Using SU(3) chiral perturbation theory we calculate the density-dependent complex-valued spin-orbit coupling strength $U_{\Sigma ls}(k_f)+ i W_{\Sigma ls}(k_f)$ of a $\Sigma$ hyperon in the nuclear medium. The leading long-range $\Sigma N$…
We consider a massive complex scalar field with contact interactions with a source and show that, upon Bose-Einstein condensation, there is an emergent long-range interaction between sources. This interaction becomes long-range in the limit…
We investigate possible interactions between neutrinos and massive scalar bosons via $g^{}_{\phi} \overline{\nu} \nu \phi$ (or massive vector bosons via $g^{}_V \overline{\nu} \gamma^\mu \nu V^{}_\mu$) and explore the allowed parameter…

New physics contributions to the (anti)neutrino-nucleon elastic scattering process can be constrained by precision measurements, with controlled Standard Model uncertainties. In a large class of new physics models, interactions involving…
