Three hypotheses are formulated. First, in the "design space" of possible electronic circuits, conventional design methods work within constrained regions, never considering most whole. Second, evolutionary algorithms can explore some regions beyond scope contentional methods, raising possibility that better designs be found. Third, practice produce and sense better. A reconfigurable hardware controller for a robot is evolved, using architecture with without orthodox constraints. In...
Searches for pseudoscalar axionlike-particles (ALPs) typically rely on their decay in beam dumps or conversion into photons haloscopes and helioscopes. We point out a new experimental direction ALP probes via production by the intense gamma ray flux available from megawatt-scale nuclear reactors at neutrino experiments through Primakoff-like Compton-like channels. Low-threshold detectors close proximity to core will have visibility decays inverse Primakoff Compton scattering, providing...
We show that XENON1T and future liquid xenon (LXe) direct detection experiments are sensitive to axions through the standard g_{aγ}aFF[over ˜] operators due inverse-Primakoff scattering. This previously neglected channel significantly improves sensitivity axion-photon coupling, with a reach extending g_{aγ}∼10^{-10} GeV^{-1} for axion masses up keV, thereby into region of heavier QCD models. result modifies couplings required explain excess in terms solar axions, opening large g_{aγ}-m_{a}...
Axion-like particles (ALPs) provide a promising direction in the search for new physics, while wide range of models incorporate ALPs. We point out that future neutrino experiments, such as DUNE, possess competitive sensitivity to ALP signals. The high-intensity proton beam impinging on target can not only produce copious amounts neutrinos, but also cascade photons are created from charged particle showers stopping target. Therefore, ALPs interacting with be produced (often energetically)...
A bstract The sensitivity to dark matter signals at neutrino experiments is fundamentally challenged by the rates, as they leave similar signatures in their detectors. As a way improve signal sensitivity, we investigate search strategy which utilizes timing and energy spectra discriminate from low-energy, pulsed-beam experiments. This was proposed our companion paper Phys. Rev. Lett. 124 (2020) 121802 [1], apply potential searches COHERENT, JSNS 2 , CCM. These are not only sources of...
IsoDAR seeks to place a high-power-cyclotron and target combination, as an intense source of ${\overline{\ensuremath{\nu}}}_{e}$ at the level $\ensuremath{\sim}{10}^{23}/\mathrm{year}$, close kiloton-scale neutrino detector in order gain sensitivity very short-baseline oscillations (${\overline{\ensuremath{\nu}}}_{e}\ensuremath{\rightarrow}{\overline{\ensuremath{\nu}}}_{e}$) perform precision tests weak interaction, among other physics opportunities. Recently, has received preliminary...
We point out that production of new bosons by charged meson decays can greatly enhance the sensitivity beam-focused accelerator-based experiments to physics signals. This enhancement arises since mesons are focused and their three-body do not suffer from helicity suppression in same way as usual two-body decays. As a realistic application, we attempt explain MiniBooNE low energy excess utilizing this overlooked mechanism, uniquely realizing dark-sector interpretations plausible solutions...

Neutrino non-standard interactions (NSI) with the first generation of standard model fermions can span a parameter space large dimension and exhibit degeneracies that cannot be broken by single class experiment. Oscillation experiments, together neutrino scattering merge their observations into highly informational dataset to combat this problem. We consider combining neutrino-electron neutrino-nucleus data from Borexino COHERENT including projection for upcoming coherent measurement at...
In this work we demonstrate that a future accelerator-based neutrino experiment such as DUNE can greatly increase its sensitivity to variety of new physics scenarios by operating in mode where the proton beam impinges on dump. We consider two scenarios, namely light dark matter and axionlike particles show utilizing dump at DUNE-like experiment, unexplored regions parameter space be probed with an exposure only 3 months half expected initial power. Specifically, targetless configuration high...
A bstract Compared to other neutrino sources, the huge anti-neutrino fluxes at nuclear reactor based experiments empower us derive stronger bounds on non-standard interactions of neutrinos with electrons mediated by light scalar/vector mediators. At energy around 200 keV flux is least an order magnitude larger compared solar flux. The atomic and crystal form factors detector materials related details structure becomes relevant this scale as momentum transfers would be small. Non-standard...
In Aguilar-Arevalo [], we explored various effective field theories that could explain the MiniBooNE excess involving long-lived particles produced from charged meson decays and sensitivity of Coherent CAPTAIN Mills experiment to these models. this addendum, extend analysis project upcoming MicroBooNE data particle models considered in previous work. We find a dedicated single photon final state with longer exposure improved signal efficiency will be sensitive new physics explanations...
New gauge bosons coupled to heavy neutral leptons (HNLs) are simple and well-motivated extensions of the Standard Model. In searches for HNLs in proton fixed-target experiments, we find that a large population (<a:math xmlns:a="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" display="inline"><a:msup><a:mi>Z</a:mi><a:mo>′</a:mo></a:msup></a:math>) produced by bremsstrahlung may decay HNLs, leading significant improvement existing bounds on (<c:math xmlns:c="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML"...
The conventional mechanism used to gain fault tolerance is redundancy. In contrast, the paper suggests that artificial evolution can be produce systems are inherently insensitive faults, with becoming part of task specification. possible techniques investigated, and study grounded in a real world evolved electronic control system for robot.
We investigate models of a heavy neutral gauge boson ${Z}^{\ensuremath{'}}$ coupling mostly to third generation quarks and second leptons. In this scenario, bottom arising from gluon splitting can fuse into allowing the LHC probe it. generic framework presented, anomalies in $B$-meson decays reported by LHCb experiment imply flavor-violating $bs$ featured constraining lowest possible production cross section. A novel approach searching for...
