abstract

We calculate the rate of production of hypothetical light vector bosons (LVBs) from nucleon-nucleon bremsstrahlung reactions in the soft radiation limit directly in terms of the measured nucleon-nucleon elastic cross sections. We use these results and the observation of neutrinos from supernova SN1987a to deduce constraints on the couplings of vector bosons with masses $\lesssim 200$ MeV to either electric charge (dark photons) or to baryon number. We establish for the first time strong constraints on LVB that couple only to baryon number, and revise earlier constraints on the dark photon. For the latter, we find that the excluded region of parameter space is diminished by about a factor of 10.

  1. Cooling the Shock: New Supernova Constraints on Dark Photons

    hep-ph 2025-02 conditional novelty 8.0 of 10

    Resonant dark photon production in the gain layer of a core-collapse supernova can quench the neutrino-driven shock revival, yielding constraints that supersede the SN1987A cooling bound for masses around 0.1-0.4 MeV.

  2. Probing Dark Photons from Nuclear De-excitation in Reactor Neutrino Experiment

    hep-ph 2026-06 unverdicted novelty 6.0 of 10

    Nuclear de-excitation in reactors produces on-shell dark photons up to nuclear transition energies, yielding stronger TEXONO limits on ε than Compton-like production for 0.1 MeV < m_A' < 6.9 MeV.

  3. Dark Photons from Red Dwarfs

    hep-ph 2026-06 unverdicted novelty 5.0 of 10

    Red dwarf mass-radius data from eclipsing binaries combined with dark-photon-inclusive evolution simulations produce competitive constraints on light dark photons.

  4. SN1987A Constraints of Light $\boldsymbol{Z'}$ with Non-Mixing Polarisations

    hep-ph 2026-06 unverdicted novelty 5.0 of 10

    Treating longitudinal and transverse polarizations of light Z' bosons independently modifies the SN1987A bounds on their parameter space in the Lμ-Lτ model.

  5. Dark Matter Capture in Supernovae Modifies Dark Photon Cooling Bounds

    hep-ph 2025-11 conditional novelty 5.0 of 10

    Asymmetric dark matter captured in SN progenitors can form a 'dark photosphere' that traps dark photons and reopens SN1987A-excluded parameter space.

  6. Axion-photon conversion in transient compact stars: Systematics, constraints, and opportunities

    hep-ph 2025-09 unverdicted novelty 5.0 of 10

    Analytical expressions for ALP-photon conversion in transient compact stars yield an updated bound g_aγ < 5×10^{-12} GeV^{-1} for m_a ≲ 10^{-9} eV from SN 1987A, plus sensitivity forecasts for future Galactic SN and N...

  7. A congruous approach with realistic cross section towards limiting sub-GeV dark matter from LUX-ZEPLIN

    hep-ph 2025-09 conditional novelty 4.0 of 10

    Using LZ nuclear recoil data, the authors derive 90% CL exclusion limits on cosmic-ray-boosted sub-GeV dark matter for two U(1)' mediator models, with energy-dependent cross sections improving the lower reach versus c...
