abstract

Proto-neutron stars forming a few seconds after core-collapse supernovae are hot and dense environments where hyperons can be efficiently produced by weak processes. By making use of various state-of-the-art supernova simulations combined with the proper extensions of the equations of state including $\Lambda$ hyperons, we calculate the cooling of the star induced by the emission of dark bosons $X^0$ through the decay $\Lambda\to n X^0$. Comparing this novel energy-loss process to the neutrino cooling of SN 1987A allows us to set stringent constraints on massless dark photons and axions with flavor-violating couplings to quarks. We find that this new supernova bound can be orders of magnitude stronger than other limits in dark-sector models.

  1. The String Theory Photoverse

    hep-th 2025-10 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    Massless string-theory hidden photons acquire dimension-six dipole couplings to SM fermions with suppression scale Λ = αM_s, converting dipole measurements into constraints on the string scale.

  2. In-flight positron annihilation as a probe of feebly interacting particles

    hep-ph 2025-01 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    In-flight annihilation of positrons produced by supernova feebly interacting particles gives the strongest astrophysical bounds on their electron couplings for masses of roughly 10-200 MeV, covering ALPs, sterile neut...

  3. Heating the dark matter halo with dark radiation from supernovae

    hep-ph 2024-11 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    Even a few parts per million of supernova energy emitted as dark radiation could transform cuspy dwarf dark matter halos into cored ones, and observed core sizes bound how much energy can go to new particles.

  4. NuSTAR bounds on radiatively decaying particles from M82

    hep-ph 2024-12 conditional novelty 5.0 of 10

    NuSTAR's non-detection of an X-ray halo from decaying axions around M82 excludes a previously allowed window of axion-photon coupling for 30-500 keV axion masses.
