Generalized expressions for relativistic and recoil corrections to light-fermion vacuum polarization in bound systems of spin-0, spin-1/2, and spin-1 particles give energy corrections of order alpha^5 m_r.
Beam-dump experiments for visibly decaying mediators hit an intrinsic sensitivity ceiling in the prompt-decay region that cannot be overcome by more data or better backgrounds, favoring compact portable setups.
A minimal electrophilic ALP portal for SIMP pion dark matter widens the allowed parameter space, making an ALP mass of order 10 MeV viable and consistent with the X17 anomaly.
The authors combine PADME positron annihilation data with nuclear transition results to report a refined mass for the hypothetical X17 boson of 16.88 ± 0.05 MeV.
Fitting independent quark couplings of the X17 boson to D, psi(2S), and phi decay data yields |ε_c| = 7.6×10^{-3}, |ε_s| = 2.4×10^{-3}, a huge |ε_u| in tension with ATOMKI, and a predicted range for the D^{*+} → D^{+} e⁺e⁻ rate.
A parameter space analysis of a leptophilic scalar mediator model for Majorana dark matter yields a viable sub-GeV region after applying relic density, cosmological, astrophysical, and laboratory constraints.
