Title |
Colliding light, tau g2, and axion dark matter |
Abstract |
Recent advances in new physics searches creatively bridge distinct fields, from
nuclear and flavour physics to astronomy and quantum technologies. The electron and
muon anomalous magnetic moments (g2) are among the most precisely tested
quantities in nature. However, tau g2 remains shrouded in mystery but can be 280
times more sensitive to new physics than the muon. Recently, CMS and ATLAS
pioneered groundbreaking tau g2 measurements by observing tau pairs created via
photon collisions in LHC heavy-ion data. Beyond colliders, limitations with
existing axion searches motivate the Broadband Reflector Experiment for Axion
Detection (BREAD) program at Fermilab. BREAD opens axion and hidden photon dark
matter sensitivity above microwave frequencies that has long eluded conventional
haloscopes. |
