The COSMIC WISPers White Paper: The physics case for Weakly Interacting Slim Particles
AI总结：
本文探讨了弱相互作用细粒粒子（WISPs）作为暗物质候选者的物理案例，综述了当前的搜索进展及未来十年的研究前景。
摘要：
轴子和其他非常弱相互作用的细粒粒子（WISPs），质量低于1 GeV，在许多标准模型扩展中自然出现。特别是，它们可能提供一个新的框架来解释暗物质的本质，并可能帮助解决天体物理学和粒子物理学中一系列令人困惑的观测问题。本文综述了正在进行的WISP搜索，并概述了未来十年的前景，涵盖其理论动机、天体观测中的间接迹象以及专门的实验室实验。该综述基于由欧盟资助的COST行动“宇宙WISPers在黑暗宇宙：理论、天体物理学和实验”（CA21106，https://www.cost.eu/actions/CA21106）的工作。该网络在协调和支持欧洲范围内的WISP搜索方面发挥关键作用，同时也在推动旨在确保欧洲在该研究领域领导地位的路线图方面发挥作用。强调欧洲目前正在进行一个丰富、多样且成本效益高的实验计划，有潜力带来一个或多个变革性发现。
英文摘要：
Axions and other very weakly interacting slim particles (WISPs), with masses below 1 GeV, arise naturally in many extensions of the Standard Model of particle physics. In particular, they could offer a new framework to explain the nature of dark matter and may help address a range of puzzling observations in astrophysics and particle physics. This review provides an overview of ongoing WISP searches and outlines the prospects for the next decade, spanning their theoretical motivation, indirect signatures in astrophysical observations, and dedicated laboratory experiments. It is based on the work carried on by the EU-funded COST Action ``Cosmic WISPers in the Dark Universe: Theory, astrophysics, and experiments'' (CA21106, https://www.cost.eu/actions/CA21106). This network plays a key role in coordinating and supporting WISP searches across Europe, while also contributing to the development of a roadmap aimed at securing European leadership in this research area. It is emphasized that Europe is currently pursuing a rich, diverse, and cost-effective experimental program, with the potential to deliver one or more transformative discoveries.
