We discuss the current status of the anomaly in beryllium-8 nuclear transitions recently reported in the angular distribution of internal conversion electron-positron pairs. We present a phenomenological analysis of the signal and review the models proposed to explain it, focusing on those involving a new light protophobic vector gauge boson. We also elaborate on the prospects of verifying the anomaly in present and future experiments.

  1. Testing the hypothesis of vector X17 boson by D meson, Charmonium, and $\phi$ meson decays

    hep-ph 2025-01 unverdicted novelty 4.0

    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^{+}...
