Status of Serpent Monte Carlo code in 2024 by Leppänen Jaakko, Valtavirta Ville, Rintala Antti, Tuominen Riku

“…In Kraken, Serpent can be used either as a high-fidelity neutronics solver, or for generating homogenized group constants for the Ants nodal neutronics code. The neutron and photon transport modes in Serpent enable using the code also for various stand-alone applications beyond reactor physics, such as radiation shielding and fusion neutronics. …”

Finding excesses in model parameter space by Kierthika Chathirathas, Torben Ferber, Felix Kahlhoefer, Alessandro Morandini

“…We illustrate this method for the case of axion-like particles decaying to photons at beam-dump experiments. For poor detector resolution the diphoton mass cannot be reliably reconstructed, so there is no simple high-level observable that can be used to perform a bump hunt. …”

Dark Matter and Dark Energy Induced by Condensates by Antonio Capolupo

“…Moreover, a component of the dark energy can be represented by the vacuum of axion-like particles mixed with photons and superpartners of neutrinos. The formal analogy among the systems characterized by the condensates can open new scenarios in the possibility of detecting the dark components of the universe in table top experiments.…”
