We compute electromagnetic radiative corrections in the inverse beta decay at reactor antineutrino energies within the heavy baryon chiral perturbation theory, provide the most accurate cross-section predictions for this process, and present a complete error budget. For the first time, we consistently include quantum electrodynamics, chromodynamics, and electroweak contributions and present...
Dark photons, which can kinetically mix with ordinary photons, represent
the simplest extension to the standard model. Detecting their
oscillations with visible photons could provide crucial insights into
the nature of dark matter and fundamental interactions beyond the standard model. We propose a novel laboratory-based approach to detect dark photon oscillations using a laser in an...
