Description
Nuclear reactors are an intense source of radiation emitted in the form of
different particles of MeV-scale energy.
We revisit several constraints that past and current experiments set on the light weakly coupled
particles. We find new, more stringent
constraints on millicharged particles and dark photons. We also consider pair-production and/or
upscattering of light dark matter, and derive new constraints
on some classes of dark matter models.
