Dark matter in compact stars
J Bramante, N Raj - Physics Reports, 2024 - Elsevier
WDs and neutron stars are far-reaching and multi-faceted laboratories in the hunt for dark
matter. We review detection prospects of wave-like, particulate, macroscopic and black hole …

Particle physics at the european spallation source
Presently under construction in Lund, Sweden, the European Spallation Source (ESS) will
be the world's brightest neutron source. As such, it has the potential for a particle physics …

Neutron stars with baryon number violation, probing dark sectors
The neutron lifetime anomaly has been used to motivate the introduction of new physics with
hidden-sector particles coupled to baryon number, and on which neutron stars provide …

Experimental search for neutron to mirror neutron oscillations as an explanation of the neutron lifetime anomaly
LJ Broussard, JL Barrow, L DeBeer-Schmitt, T Dennis… - Physical Review Letters, 2022 - APS
An unexplained> 4 σ discrepancy persists between “beam” and “bottle” measurements of
the neutron lifetime. A new model proposed that conversions of neutrons n into mirror …

Neutron star internal heating constraints on mirror matter
Mirror sectors have been proposed to address the problems of dark matter, baryogenesis,
and the neutron lifetime anomaly. In this work we study a new, powerful probe of mirror …

Confronting strange stars with compact-star observations and new physics
S Yang, C Pi, X Zheng, F Weber - Universe, 2023 - mdpi.com
Strange stars ought to exist in the universe according to the strange quark matter hypothesis,
which states that matter made of roughly equal numbers of up, down, and strange quarks …

Cosmological and astrophysical probes of dark baryons
We examine the cosmological and astrophysical signatures of a “dark baryon,” a neutral
fermion that mixes with the neutron. As the mixing is through a higher-dimensional operator …
