abstract
The $\eta$ and $\eta^{\prime}$ mesons are nearly unique in the particle universe since they are almost Goldstone bosons and the dynamics of their decays are strongly constrained. The integrated $\eta$-meson samples collected in earlier experiments amount to $\sim10^{9}$ events. A new experiment, REDTOP (Rare Eta Decays To Probe New Physics), is being proposed, with the intent of collecting a data sample of order 10$^{14}$ $\eta$ (10$^{12}$ $\eta^{\prime}$) for studying very rare decays. Such statistics are sufficient for investigating several symmetry violations, and for searching for particles and fields beyond the Standard Model. In this work we present several studies evaluating REDTOP sensitivity to processes that couple the Standard Model to New Physics through all four of the so-called \emph{portals}: the Vector, the Scalar, the Axion and the Heavy Lepton portal. The sensitivity of the experiment is also adequate for probing several conservation laws, in particular $CP$, $T$ and Lepton Universality, and for the determination of the $\eta$ form factors, which is crucial for the interpretation of the recent measurement of muon $g-2$.

Correlated low-energy constants in large-$N_c$ chiral perturbation theory
In large-Nc chiral perturbation theory, the decay constant depends on a single correlated combination of F0, L4, and C16, so phenomenological fits constrain directions rather than independent low-energy constants.

Simulation of dark photon sensitivity in $\eta \rightarrow \gamma e^+e^-$ at HIAF
Simulations of a proposed HIAF eta factory project a dark photon branching ratio limit of 10^-6 to 10^-7 and a kinetic mixing sensitivity of epsilon^2 about 10^-7 for masses up to 0.4 GeV.

Simulation of dark scalar particle sensitivity in $\eta$ rare decay channels at HIAF
A one-month HIAF simulation projects branching-ratio upper limits of about 10^-9 (e+e-) and 10^-6 (pi pi) for eta decays to a dark scalar, with parameter sensitivities beyond current bounds.
