We derive new bounds on hidden sector gauge bosons which could produce new energy loss mechanisms in supernovae, enlarging the excluded region in mass-coupling space by a significant factor compared to earlier estimates. Both considerations of trapping and possible decay of these particles need to be incorporated when determining such bounds, as does scattering on both neutrons and protons. For masses and couplings near the region which saturates current bounds, a significant background of such gauge bosons may also be produced due to the cumulative effects of all supernovae over cosmic history.

    hep-ph 2026-06 unverdicted novelty 6.0 of 10

    Higher-order electromagnetic and hadronic contributions to dark photon bremsstrahlung have limited impact on signal and background predictions for LDMX and LOHENGRIN except for requiring an HCAL extension in LOHENGRIN...

  2. 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.

  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. 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.

    hep-ph 2024-12 conditional novelty 5.0 of 10

    A proposed CiADS beam-dump experiment could search for dark photons and reach currently unexcluded parameter space around 100 MeV mass and 1e-9 to 1e-8 kinetic mixing.
