Observations of anomalous angular correlations in electron-positron pairs produced from excited states of $^{4}$He, $^{8}$Be and $^{12}$C nuclei have been suggested as due to the creation and subsequent decay of a new light particle of mass…

The present work deals with the e+ e- pair production in the d(p,e+e-)3He and d(n,e+ e-)3H processes, in order to evidentiate possible effects due to the exchange of a hypothetical low-mass boson, the so-called X17. These processes are…

Employing the $^{11}$B(p,$\gamma$)$^{12}$C nuclear reaction, the angular correlation of $e^+e^-$ pairs was investigated in the angular range of $40^\circ\Theta\leq 175^\circ$ for five different proton energies between E$_p$ = 1.50 - 2.50…

In this paper we report on a systematic search for a neutral boson in the mass range between 5 and 15 MeV/c$^{2}$ in the decay of highly excited nuclei. Its signature is found a deviation in the angular correlation of the $e^+e^-$ pairs…

The improved results on a direct search for a new X(16.7 MeV) boson which could explain the anomalous excess of $e^+e^-$ pairs observed in the excited 8Be nucleus decays ("Berillium anomaly") are reported. Due to its coupling to electrons,…

We revisit the gauged $U(1)_{B-L}$ explanation of the ATOMKI nuclear anomalies, in which the new gauge boson is the hypothetical $X(17)$ particle. It is known that the vanilla $B-L$ scenario is unable to account for appropriate couplings,…

We derive constraints on the couplings of light vector particles to all first-generation Standard Model fermions using leptonic decays of the charged pion, $\pi^+\to e^+ \nu_e X_\mu$. In models where the net charge to which $X_\mu$ couples…

This report summarizes our study of Neutral Current (NC)-induced photon production in MiniBooNE, as motivated by the low energy excess in this experiment [A. A. Aquilar-Arevalo et al. (MiniBooNE Collaboration), Phys. Rev. Lett. 98, 231801…

In the absence of any new physics signals at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC), anomalous results at low energy experiments have become the subject of increased attention. We focus on three such results from the LSND, MiniBooNE (MB), and…

We estimate the values of Yukawa couplings of a light pseudoscalar A with a mass of about 17 MeV, which would explain the $^8Be$ anomaly observed in the Atomki pair spectrometer experiment. The resulting couplings of A to up and down type…

We present the results of a new analysis of the data of the MiniBooNE experiment taking into account the additional background of photons. MiniBooNE normalises the rate of photon production to the measured $\pi^0$ production rate. We study…

Experimentally observed X-ray and neutron emissions by acoustic perturbations of liquids and solids look paradoxical. All acoustically driven effects are extremely adiabatic with respect to typical times $\hbar/1keV\sim 10^{-18}s$ for X-ray…

We show that the process of Coherent Elastic neutrino (v) Nucleus Scattering (CEvNS) at nuclear reactor experiments has significant sensitivity to the so-called X17 particle, which has been invoked to explain the ATOMKI anomaly, wherein…

This paper, together with a subsequent paper, questions the so-called 'LSND anomaly': a 3.8 {\sigma} excess of anti-electronneutrino interactions over standard backgrounds, observed by the LSND Collaboration in a beam dump experiment with…

We show that coherent $\eta$ and $\etap$ photoproduction by means of the Primakoff Effect on the proton depends on the strange component of the neutral axial current coupling. We construct polarization asymmetries that are sensitive to this…

We discuss new physics phenomenology of hidden scalar ($S$), pseudoscalar ($P$), vector ($V$) and axial-vector ($A$) particles coupled to nucleons and leptons, which could give contributions to proton charge radius, $(g-2)_\mu$,…

We present a hypothesis that the anomaly in the folding angle distribution of electron-positron pairs, emitted in the decay of the excited levels of nucleus $^{8}$Be and $^{4}$He can be related to the cluster structure of the decaying…

We present MicroBooNE's first search for dark sector $e^+e^-$ explanations of the long-standing MiniBooNE anomaly. The MiniBooNE anomaly has garnered significant attention over the past 20 years including previous MicroBooNE investigations…

We consider several extensions of the Standard Model (SM) which can explain the anomalies observed by the Atomki collaboration in the decay of excited states of Beryllium via a new boson with a mass around 17 MeV yielding $e^+e^-$ pairs. We…

A generic explanation for the recently observed anomalous crossing frequencies in odd proton rare earth nuclei is given. As an example, the proton ${1\over 2} [541]$ band in $^{175}$Ta is discussed in detail by using the angular momentum…
