Spin-dependent WIMP searches have traditionally presented results within an odd group approximation and by suppressing one of the spin-dependent interaction cross sections. We here elaborate on a model-independent analysis in which…
Modifying the numerical codes, dispersion corrections to the beam-normal spin asymmetry which arise from low-lying transient nuclear excitations up to 30 MeV, are estimated for collision energies between 50 MeV and 1 GeV. A nonperturbative…
Searching for exotic spin-dependent interactions that beyond the standard model has been of interest for past decades and is crucial for unraveling the mysteries of the universe. Previous laboratory searches primarily focus on searching for…
An experimental opportunity is presented for the future to measure possible P- and T-non-invariant axion-like interaction between nucleons in a Fm range. This interaction may be searched for in the measurement spin-dependent asymmetry of…
We report on a neutron particle physics experiment, which provides for the first time an upper limit on the strength of an axial coupling constant for a new light spin 1 boson in the millimeter range. Such a new boson would mediate a new…
It is well known that non-central nuclear forces, such as the spin-orbital coupling and the tensor force, play important roles in understanding many interesting features of nuclear structures. However, their dynamical effects in nuclear…
The Stark-interference technique is commonly used to amplify the feeble parity-violating signal in atomic experiments. As a result, interpretation of these experiments in terms of electroweak observables requires knowledge of the…

A constraint on a long-range spin-dependent interaction $\alpha^{\prime\prime}({\bf s}_1\cdot{\bf s}_2)\,{\rm e}^{-\lambda r}/r$, which can be induced by a pseudovector light boson, is presented. We study theoretical and experimental data…
Atomic comagnetometers are used in searches for anomalous spin-dependent interactions. Magnetic field gradients are one of the major sources of systematic errors in such experiments. Here we describe a comagnetometer based on the nuclear…
Novel interactions beyond the four known fundamental forces in nature (electromagnetic, gravitational, strong and weak interactions), may arise due to "new physics" beyond the standard model, manifesting as a "fifth force". This review is…
New constraints on exotic dipole-dipole interactions between electrons at the micrometer scale are established, based on a recent measurement of the magnetic interaction between two trapped $^{88}$Sr$^+$ ions. For light bosons (mass $\le$…
A measurement of the Lamb shift in muonic hydrogen yields a charge radius of the proton that is smaller than the CODATA value by about 5 standard deviations. We explore the possibility that new scalar, pseudoscalar, vector, and tensor…
Axion-like particles and similar new pseudoscalar as well as vector bosons coupled to nucleons and electrons are predicted to lead to spin-dependent forces in atoms and ions. We argue that hyperfine structure measurements in hydrogen- and…
Spin-exchange collisions in alkali vapors have been at the basis of several fundamental and applied investigations, like nuclear structure studies and tests of fundamental symmetries, ultra-sensitive atomic magnetometers, magnetic resonance…
High-precision spectroscopy of muonic atoms provides a powerful probe for new short-range interactions predicted by theories beyond the Standard Model (SM). In this work, we derive new constraints on both spin-independent and spin-dependent…
There has been considerable interest in providing new limits on the short range behaviour of gravity, or, in general, anomalous short-range interactions. In this note we show that one use the interaction of ultra-cold neutrons to obtain a…
We performed a search for neutron spin coupling to a Lorentz and CPT-violating background field using a magnetometer with overlapping ensembles of K and $^3$He atoms. The co-magnetometer is mounted on a rotary platform for frequent reversal…
Various theories beyond the Standard Model predict new particles with masses in the sub-eV range with very weak couplings to ordinary matter. I present both measured and projected limits on the strengths of two possible interactions that…
