We report on a search for the free decay component of pi- stopped in water and light materials. A non-zero value of this would be an indication of anomalous nu_e contamination to the nu_e and nu_mu_bar production at stopped-pion neutrino facilities. No free decay component of pi- was observed in water, Beryllium, and Aluminum, for which upper limits were established at 8.2E-4, 3.2E-3, and 7.7E-3, respectively.

  1. Baryon-number-violating nucleon decays into a dark photon particle

    hep-ph 2026-07 conditional novelty 6.0

    A complete XLEFT basis for nucleon decay into a dark photon is matched to ChPT, yielding width formulas and first recast lifetime bounds from Super-K data.
