The search for non-baryonic dark matter remains a key focus in modern physics, with the light pseudoscalar axion serving as a well-motivated candidate. Here, we present a laboratory-scale detection scheme to constrain axion-nucleon…
Angular asymmetries are simple, intuitive, model-independent observables used to identify spins of new elementary particles. In the case of Drell-Yan-like boson resonances, we generalize the well-known center-edge angular asymmetry to…
We calculate the scattering rate of sub-GeV dark matter in solid-state targets for spin-dependent dark matter -- nucleon interactions. For dark matter particles with mass below 100 MeV, the scattering occurs predominantly through incoherent…
We show that atomic interference in the reflection from two suitably polarized evanescent waves is sensitive to retardation effects in the atom-surface interaction for specific experimental parameters. We study the limit of short and long…
The currently accepted mathematical description of the fundamental constituents and interactions of matter is the Standard Model of particle physics. Its last missing particle, the famous Higgs boson, was observed at the Large Hadron…
We propose methods for extracting limits on the strength of P-odd interactions of pseudoscalar and pseudovector cosmic fields with electrons, protons and neutrons. Candidates for such fields are dark matter (including axions) and dark…
The role of the suppression of the coupling constant in the pseudovector pion-nucleon interaction is examined to account for the calculation of the magnetic moment of nucleon. Among three kinds of the higher-order corrections the vacuum…
Atom-atom scattering of bosonic one-dimensional (1D) atoms has been modeled successfully using a zero-range delta-function potential, while that of bosonic 3D atoms has been modeled successfully using Fermi-Huang's regularized s-wave…
A polarized internal atomic hydrogen target and a stored, polarized beam are used to measure the spin-dependent total cross section Delta_sigma_T/sigma_tot, as well as the polar integrals of the spin correlation coefficient combination…
Rydberg atoms and beams of ultracold polar molecules have become highly useful experimental tools in recent years. There is therefore a need for accessible calculations of interaction potentials between such particles and nearby surfaces…
Gauge invariance requires even in the weak interactions that physical, observable particles are described by gauge-invariant composite operators. Such operators have the same structure as those describing bound states, and consequently the…
Contacts between particles in dense, sheared suspensions are believed to underpin much of their rheology. Roughness and adhesion are known to constrain the relative motion of particles, and thus globally affect the shear response, but an…
Spin dependent phenomena in inclusive hadron production have been extensively investigated, yet their microscopic origin and universality across different hadrons are still not fully understood. In particular, it is presently unknown…
Nontrivial electromagnetic properties of neutrinos are an avenue to physics beyond the Standard Model. To this end, we investigate the power of monophoton signals at neutrino experiments to probe a higher-dimensional operator connecting…
Nearly massless axion-like particles are of interest for astrophysical observations, and some constraints on their parameter space do exist in the literature. Here, we propose to put new constraints on these particles using polarisation…
We discuss the possible symmetries of the effective lagrangian describing interacting pseudoscalar-, vector-, and axial-vector mesons. Specific choices of the parameters give rise to an $[SU(2)\otimes SU(2)]^3$ symmetry. This symmetry can…
When seeking a numerical representation of a quantum-mechanical multiparticle problem it is tempting to replace a singular short-range interaction by a smooth finite-range pseudopotential. Finite basis set expansions, e.g.~in Fock space,…
The Short BaseLine (SBL) neutrino oscillation anomalies hint at the presence of a sterile neutrino with a mass of around 1 eV. However, such a neutrino is incompatible with cosmological data, in particular observations of the Cosmic…
Spin-dependent short range interactions of free neutrons with matter may be searched for in various ways. This short note discusses pseudomagnetic precession of trapped ultracold neutrons in vicinity to bulk matter, which should be several…
