abstract

MUonE is a proposed experiment designed to measure the hadronic vacuum polarization contribution to muon $g-2$ through elastic $\mu-e$ scattering. As such it employs an extremely high-resolution tracking apparatus. We point out that this makes MUonE also a very promising experiment to search for displaced vertices from light, weakly-interacting new particles. We demonstrate its potential by showing how it has excellent sensitivity to dark photons in the mass range $10~\mathrm{MeV} \le m_{A'} \le 100~\mathrm{MeV}$ and kinetic mixing parameter $10^{-5} \le \epsilon e \le 10^{-3}$, through the process $\mu^{\pm}\, e^- \to \mu^{\pm}\, e^-\, A'$ followed by $A'\to e^+e^-$.

  1. Filling the Gap: Hunting for Vector Bosons at the MUonE Experiment with Displaced Decay Signature

    hep-ph 2025-11 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    MUonE's displaced-vertex search, combining muon-electron and muon-nucleus production, could probe vector-boson mediators up to ~150 MeV and close a documented parameter-space gap.

  2. A comprehensive study of ALPs from $B$-decays

    hep-ph 2024-12 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    The paper derives the complete two-loop flavor-changing coupling of axion-like particles to b and s quarks and uses it to set updated limits on f_a in KSVZ, DFSZ and Flaxion models.

  3. Potential for the discovery of the protophobic boson at the STCF

    hep-ph 2025-12 conditional novelty 5.0 of 10

    Detector-level simulations indicate the proposed STCF drift chamber could discover the 17 MeV protophobic X17 boson through displaced electron-positron vertices if Standard Model backgrounds stay below about 10^4 even...
