Stellar cooling arguments place strict restrictions on a wide variety of models of new physics. In this paper, we argue that mechanisms to evade these constraints are restricted by thermodynamic arguments, then present a minimal model extension that allows new particles to evade all stellar constraints. In doing this, we demonstrate that interesting parameter space can be reopened, using the EDGES signal and Xenon1T excess as examples. This mechanism highlights the importance of laboratory experiments in a well-controlled environment to search for new physics, complementary to astrophysical searches.

First Demonstration of a Hybrid Cherenkov and Scintillation Detector in a Proof-of-Principle Axion Search at a Beam Dump
First event-by-event Cherenkov separation from sub-MeV electrons in liquid argon enables a proof-of-principle ALP search excluding new parameter space despite no observed excess.

Boomerang mechanism explaining the excess radio background
A two-stage mechanism where relic neutrinos convert to dark neutrinos in the early universe and later decay into photon states can explain the ARCADE 2 excess radio background while evading neutrino magnetic moment bounds.
