Solar neutrinos upscattering inside the Earth can source unstable particles that can decay inside terrestrial detectors. Contrary to naive expectations we show that when the decay length is much shorter than the radius of the \emph{Earth} (rather than the detector), the event rate is independent of the decay length. In this paper we study a transition dipole operator (neutrino dipole portal) and show that Borexino's existing data probes previously untouched parameter space in the 0.5--20 MeV regime, complementing recent cosmological and supernova bounds. We briefly comment on similarities and differences with luminous dark matter and comment on future prospects for analogous signals stemming from atmospheric neutrinos.

  1. Precision Tests of SM and new physics with the COHERENT Ge-mini and TEXONO data

    hep-ph 2026-08 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    New constraints on neutrino electromagnetic properties, light mediators, and sterile-neutrino upscattering are derived from COHERENT Ge-mini and TEXONO data, with TEXONO giving particularly strong millicharge and magn...

  2. Invisible jets from composite neutrinos

    hep-ph 2025-07 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    Neutrino scattering into composite invisible jets would enhance the neutral-to-charged current ratio, and NuTeV plus SHiP/FPF data can probe or exclude this scenario.

  3. Dirt/Detector/Dump: Complementary BSM production at Short-Baseline Neutrino Facilities

    hep-ph 2025-01 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    Dump-produced heavy neutral leptons contribute substantially to short-baseline neutrino detector signals and can be separated from dirt and detector production by energy, angle, and timing.

  4. Constraints and Sensitivities for Dipole-Portal Heavy Neutral Leptons from ND280 and its Upgrade

    hep-ph 2024-12 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    ND280 data, recast through a detailed Monte Carlo simulation, set new world-leading limits on dipole-portal heavy neutral leptons and disfavor them as the MiniBooNE anomaly explanation.

  5. Neutrino electromagnetic properties and sterile dipole portal in light of the first solar CE$\nu$NS data

    hep-ph 2024-12 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    The paper derives the first 90% CL limits on neutrino magnetic moments, millicharges, and the sterile dipole portal from solar 8B CEνNS data in XENONnT and PandaX-4T.

  6. Probing conventional and new physics at the ESS with coherent elastic neutrino-nucleus scattering

    hep-ph 2025-01 conditional novelty 5.0 of 10

    Projected ESS CEνNS measurements would improve current constraints on the weak mixing angle, nuclear neutron radii, and several new physics scenarios by large factors, and would lead in some unexplored mass ranges.
