Very High Energy (VHE) gamma rays and charged cosmic rays (CCRs) provide a unique observational window into the inner workings of our universe. With the advent of new observatories, they provide access to exotic events and Beyond Standard Model (BSM) phenomena at the center-of-mass energy scale, currently inaccessible to terrestrial experiments like the Large Hadron Collider (LHC). One of the...

We explain the MiniBooNE low energy excess utilizing three body decays of charged mesons into a lepton, neutrino, and a dark bosonic state, in conjunction with Primakoff-like photoconversion of such states in order to explain the angular spectrum. Thus, dark-sector interpretations can be reinstated as plausible solutions to the excess. We explore a new space of EFTs that fit into this general...

We study inelastic dark matter-nucleus scattering in stopped pion experiments by nuclear shell model. We find that the inelastic scattering is dominated by Gamow-Teller (GT) transition. Nuclear shell model code, BIGSTICK, calculates GT transitions and the deexcitation photons for the nuclei such as Na23, Ar40, and I127. Given the experiment setup (COHERENT for example) we can estimate event...

46. Correlating the Magnetic Moments of Neutrinos and Charged Leptons

In this talk, I shall describe how the neutrino transition magnetic moment and charged lepton magnetic moments are correlated in various classes of models. In particular, I will consider two different models. One is based on an approximate $SU(2)_H$ symmetry, and the other is based on the spin symmetry mechanism: both these models can generate a large neutrino magnetic moment without inducing...
