Abstract

A search for a neutral heavy vector gauge boson, Zprime, was conducted in pbar-p collisions using 110pb$^{-1}$ of data obtained at the Collider Detector at Fermilab. We present preliminary 95% CL limits on the production of Zprime in different models using its e+e- and mu+mu- decay modes.

Experimental Searches for Muon to Electron Conversion in Nuclei

Charged lepton flavor violation (CLFV) provides a highly sensitive probe of physics beyond the Standard Model. This experimental review discusses $μ^{-} \to e^{-}$ conversion in nuclei, which is a muon CLFV process characterized by a clean monoenergetic-electron signature and the ability to exploit large samples of stopped muons. It describes the physics motivation, basic experimental principles, key background sources, and search strategies, as well as the status and prospects of past and next-generation experiments such as COMET and Mu2e. Future experimental concepts may extend the sensitivity even further. If a signal is observed, comparisons among results obtained with different target nuclei and with those from complementary searches for other muon CLFV decay modes will be essential for identifying the underlying interaction.

Search for dark photon dark matter near $\mathbf{1\,meV}$ using a superconducting mixer

We demonstrate the use of a superconducting mixer for direct searches for dark photon dark matter (DPDM) in the meV mass range. DPDM couples to the ordinary electromagnetic field through kinetic mixing with a coupling constant $χ$ and can convert into ordinary photons at the surface of a metal plate. For DPDM masses of 1 meV, the conversion photons have frequencies of around 240 GHz. At such frequencies, superconducting mixers enable low-noise spectroscopic measurements. We performed a direct search for DPDM in the mass range 1.0047578-1.0047598 meV, corresponding to the frequency range 242.94935-242.94983 GHz, using approximately one hour of data obtained with a cryogenic millimeter-wave receiver based on a superconducting mixer. No significant excess was found, and we set upper limits of $χ< (1.6\text{-}1.9)\times10^{-9}$ at the 95% confidence level. These limits are comparable to existing constraints from solar dark photons. By applying this method, we plan to extend the search to the wider mass range of 0.7-1.1 meV, corresponding to 170-260 GHz, with improved sensitivity.

Study of the up-down asymmetry in $B^+\to K^+π^+π^-γ$ using $K_1(1270)$ amplitudes constrained by semileptonic $D$ Decays

Using $K_1(1270)\to Kππ$ amplitude models constrained by the charmed-meson semileptonic decays $D^{+(0)}\to K^-π^+π^{0(-)} e^+ν_e$, we present a model-dependent estimate of the up-down asymmetry observed in $B^+\to K^+π^+π^-γ$ in the mass region $M_{K^+π^+π^-}\in[1.1,1.3]$~GeV/$c^2$. Estimates based on an isolated $K_1(1270)$ show significant model dependence, but systematically lie below the measured asymmetry $\bar{\mathcal{H}}_{\mathrm{ud}}=(0.092\pm0.023)$ when assuming $λ_γ=1$. We also explore interference with the $K_1(1400)$ tail and find that it can appreciably reduce the tension.
