Supernova Constraints on Dark Flavored Sectors
read the original abstract
Proto-neutron stars forming a few seconds after core-collapse supernovae are hot and dense environments where hyperons can be efficiently produced by weak processes. By making use of various state-of-the-art supernova simulations combined with the proper extensions of the equations of state including $\Lambda$ hyperons, we calculate the cooling of the star induced by the emission of dark bosons $X^0$ through the decay $\Lambda\to n X^0$. Comparing this novel energy-loss process to the neutrino cooling of SN 1987A allows us to set stringent constraints on massless dark photons and axions with flavor-violating couplings to quarks. We find that this new supernova bound can be orders of magnitude stronger than other limits in dark-sector models.

$\Lambda$ hyperons in core-collapse supernovae: Equilibration and neutrino opacities
Lambda hyperons equilibrate rapidly in post-collapse proto-neutron stars through nonleptonic NN to N Lambda processes and enhance low-energy muon neutrino opacities beyond nucleonic contributions.

The String Theory Photoverse
Massless string-theory hidden photons acquire dimension-six dipole couplings to SM fermions with suppression scale Λ = αM_s, converting dipole measurements into constraints on the string scale.

Core Composition Effects on the QCD Axion Mass Limit from Neutron Star Cooling
Varying neutron star core composition with hyperons and Delta resonances mildly affects the QCD axion mass limit from cooling, potentially bringing the DFSZ limit into the IAXO sensitivity window.
