We study the production of exotic millicharged particles (MCPs) from cosmic ray-atmosphere collisions which constitutes a permanent MCP production source for all terrestrial experiments Our calculation of the MCP flux can be used to reinterpret existing limits from experiments such as MACRO and Majorana on an ambient flux of ionizing particles. Large-scale underground neutrino detectors are particularly favorable targets for the resulting MCPs. Using available data from the Super-K experiment…

FORMOSA: Looking Forward to Millicharged Dark Sectors
We identify potentially the world's most sensitive location to search for millicharged particles in the 10 MeV to 100 GeV mass range: the forward region at the LHC. We propose constructing a…
Luminous solar neutrinos. I. Dipole portals
Solar neutrinos upscattering inside the Earth can source unstable particles that can decay inside terrestrial detectors. Contrary to naive expectations we show that when the decay length is much…
Charged black hole mergers: orbit circularisation and chirp mass bias
We consider the inspiral of black holes carrying U(1) charge that is not electromagnetic, but corresponds to some dark sector. In the weak-field, low-velocity regime, the components follow Keplerian…
General Relativistic Simulations of the Quasicircular Inspiral and Merger of Charged Black Holes: GW150914 and Fundamental Physics Implications.
TLDR
It is shown that the inspiral is most efficient for detecting black hole charge through gravitational waves and that GW150914 is compatible with having charge-to-mass ratio as high as 0.3.
Millicharged cosmic rays and low recoil detectors
We consider the production of a "fast flux" of hypothetical millicharged particles (mCPs) in the interstellar medium (ISM). We consider two possible sources induced by cosmic rays: (a)…
Millicharged particles from the heavens: single- and multiple-scattering signatures
Abstract For nearly a century, studying cosmic-ray air showers has driven progress in our understanding of elementary particle physics. In this work, we revisit the production of millicharged…

Atmospheric resonant production for light dark sectors
Cosmic ray atmospheric showers provide an effective environment for the production of MeV-scale dark sector particles. We show that, when available, the resonant annihilation of positrons from the…
FLArE up dark sectors with EM form factors at the LHC Forward Physics Facility
Despite being mostly secluded, dark sector particles may feebly interact with photons via a small mass-dimension 4 millicharge, a mass-dimension 5 magnetic and electric dipole moment, or a…
Passage of millicharged particles in the electron beam-dump: refining constraints from SLACmQ and estimating sensitivity of NA64e
Millicharged particles (MCPs) arise in many well-motivated extensions of the Standard Model and are a popular subject for experimental searches. We investigate attenuation of the MCP flux produced at…
