New physics searches in nuclear and neutron β decay

M González-Alonso, O Naviliat-Cuncic… - Progress in Particle and …, 2019 - Elsevier
The status of tests of the standard electroweak model and of searches for new physics in
allowed nuclear β decay and neutron decay is reviewed including both theoretical and …

QCD and strongly coupled gauge theories: challenges and perspectives

N Brambilla, S Eidelman, P Foka, S Gardner… - The European Physical …, 2014 - Springer
We highlight the progress, current status, and open challenges of QCD-driven physics, in
theory and in experiment. We discuss how the strong interaction is intimately connected to a …

High precision analytical description of the allowed spectrum shape

L Hayen, N Severijns, K Bodek, D Rozpedzik… - Reviews of Modern …, 2018 - APS

Beta decays and non-standard interactions in the LHC era

V Cirigliano, S Gardner, BR Holstein - Progress in Particle and Nuclear …, 2013 - Elsevier
We consider the role of precision measurements of beta decays and light meson semi-
leptonic decays in probing physics beyond the Standard Model in the LHC era. We describe …

New prospects in fixed target searches for dark forces with the SeaQuest experiment at Fermilab

S Gardner, RJ Holt, AS Tadepalli - Physical Review D, 2016 - APS
An intense 120 GeV proton beam incident on an extremely long iron target generates
enormous numbers of light-mass particles that also decay within that target. If one of these …

Symmetry violations in nuclear and neutron decay

KK Vos, HW Wilschut, RGE Timmermans - Reviews of Modern Physics, 2015 - APS
The role of β decay as a low-energy probe of physics beyond the standard model is
reviewed. Traditional searches for deviations from the standard model structure of the weak …

Precision Measurement of the Radiative Decay of the Free Neutron

MJ Bales, R Alarcon, CD Bass, EJ Beise, H Breuer… - Physical review …, 2016 - APS
The standard model predicts that, in addition to a proton, an electron, and an antineutrino, a
continuous spectrum of photons is emitted in the β decay of the free neutron. We report on …

Photoproduction of leptophobic bosons

C Fanelli, M Williams - Journal of Physics G: Nuclear and Particle …, 2016 - iopscience.iop.org
We propose a search for photoproduction of leptophobic bosons that couple to quarks at the
GlueX experiment at Jefferson Lab. We study in detail a new gauge boson that couples to …
