abstract

We present a determination of the pion-nucleon ($\pi N$) $\sigma$-term $\sigma_{\pi N}$ based on the Cheng-Dashen low-energy theorem (LET), taking advantage of the recent high-precision data from pionic atoms to pin down the $\pi N$ scattering lengths as well as of constraints from analyticity, unitarity, and crossing symmetry in the form of Roy-Steiner equations to perform the extrapolation to the Cheng-Dashen point in a reliable manner. With isospin-violating corrections included both in the scattering lengths and the LET, we obtain $\sigma_{\pi N}=(59.1\pm 1.9\pm 3.0)$ MeV $=(59.1\pm 3.5)$ MeV, where the first error refers to uncertainties in the $\pi N$ amplitude and the second to the LET. Consequences for the scalar nucleon couplings relevant for the direct detection of dark matter are discussed.

Physical implications of a double right-handed gauge symmetry

hep-ph · 2026-01-10 · unverdicted · novelty 6.0

A double right-handed U(1) gauge extension generates the Standard Model fermion mass hierarchy at tree and loop levels and stabilizes a viable scalar singlet dark matter particle consistent with relic density and direct detection bounds.

Pseudo-scalar dark matter from a broken gauged symmetry

hep-ph · 2026-06-21 · conditional · novelty 5.0

A gauged U(1)_X dark sector with no charged fermions yields a stable pseudo-scalar dark matter candidate whose direct-detection cross section is suppressed by momentum transfer and a vacuum hierarchy, while relic density and Higgs bounds are satisfied.

Dark matter in classically conformal theories: WIMP and supercooling

hep-ph · 2026-03-10 · unverdicted · novelty 5.0

Classically conformal SU(2)_X model with triplet dark scalar yields viable WIMP and supercooled DM parameter spaces whose production histories are set by the model's first-order phase transition, with gravitational waves as a common probe.

Reach and complementarity of $\mu\to e$ searches

hep-ph · 2022-04-01 · unverdicted · novelty 5.0

Derives new physics scale constraints in a six-dimensional EFT subspace for μ to e transitions using data from μ→eγ, μ→3e, and nuclear conversion experiments while highlighting their complementarity.
