High-energy particle physics experiments allow for the possible existence of a new light, very weakly coupled, neutral gauge boson (the U boson). This one permits for light (spin-1/2 or spin-0) particles to be acceptable Dark Matter candidates, by inducing sufficient (stronger than weak) annihilation cross sections into e+e-. They could be responsible for the bright 511 keV gamma ray line observed by INTEGRAL from the galactic bulge. Such a new interaction may have important consequences, especially at lower energies. Parity-violation atomic-physics experiments provide strong constraints on such a U boson, if its couplings to quarks and electrons violate parity. With the constraints coming from an unobserved axionlike behaviour of this particle, they privilegiate a pure vector coupling of the U boson to quarks and leptons, unless the corresponding symmetry is broken sufficiently above the electroweak scale.

  1. Flavor specific chiral $U(1)_X$ framework for explaining the ATOMKI anomaly

    hep-ph 2026-04 conditional novelty 6.0

    A gauged, flavor-specific U(1)_X two-Higgs-doublet model can realize the axial-vector Z' couplings needed to explain the ATOMKI 8Be and 4He anomalies while evading current bounds.

  2. Relative enhancement of low-mass vector-boson exchange in higher waves matrix elements: parity non-conservation in hydrogen

    hep-ph 2026-07 conditional novelty 5.0

    A light Z' boson can mix hydrogen's 3p and 3d states with no Standard Model Z background, offering a potentially clean atomic probe of new physics.

  3. Parity Nonconservation in Hydrogen Induced by Low-Mass Vector-Boson Exchange

    hep-ph 2026-05 unverdicted novelty 5.0

    The ratio of low-mass Z' to SM Z contributions to PNC in hydrogen and deuterium is computed for arbitrary Z' mass, showing faster-than-1/Z² growth at low Z for both nuclear-spin-independent and dependent cases.
