Despite being remarkable predictive, the Standard Model leaves unanswered several important issues, which motivate an ongoing search for its extensions. One fashionable possibility are the so- called 331 models, where the electroweak gauge group is extended to $SU_L(3)\times U(1)$. We focus on a minimal extension which includes vector-like quarks (VLQs) and new gauge bosons, performing a...

Recent analysis of Fermi decays by C.Y. Seng and M. Gorshteyn and the corresponding $V_{ud}$ determination have revealed a degree of tension with Cabibbo-Kobayashi-Maskawa (CKM) matrix unitarity, confirmation of which would indicate several potential deficiencies within the Standard Model (SM) weak sector. Extraction of $V_{ud}$ requires electroweak radiative corrections (EWRC) from theory to...

Neutrinos from core-collapse supernovae are a crucial target of many ongoing experiments; their detection, in an age of advanced instrumentation, promises to lead to powerful insights in the fields of astrophysics, nuclear physics and particle physics. Current efforts directed to ab initio simulations, although increasingly refined, are still limited in providing an entirely reliable...

Nuclear electromagnetic observables, such as electric dipole polarizabilities and isoscalar monopole resonances, provide a unique connection between nuclear structure studies and astrophysics. In fact, they strongly correlate with parameters determining the nuclear matter equation of state at saturation density, shedding light at the same time on the collective excitations of the nucleus at...

The groundbreaking discovery of neutrino oscillations represents a concrete indication of new physics and the measurement of the oscillation parameters has the potential to unlock new knowledge on the fundamental building blocks of matter.

The investigation of parity violation (PV) effects in atomic systems, where weak and electromagnetic interactions interact, carries significant implications for atomic, nuclear, and particle physics. The study of nuclear spin dependent (NSD) parity violation provides crucial tests of the Standard Model’s (SM) predictions, probing for deviations that could indicate the presence of new physics...

Electroweak physics at low energies remains relatively unexplored. Even though different probes exist, the extraction of the weak mixing angle at low energy is often correlated with the poorly known radius of the neutron distribution of the element used in the experiment, leading to an unclear understanding of the consistency across different probes. To provide a comprehensive overview, we...

Neutrino interactions with nuclei are crucial for understanding neutrino properties and for interpreting data from neutrino oscillation experiments. This study focuses on developing a realistic theoretical model, known as the factorized spectral function approach, to investigate neutrino-nucleus quasi-elastic scattering. The spectral function, under certain assumptions, is interpreted as the...

Atomic spectroscopy experiments at the precision frontier allow us to study low-energy nuclear structure, test bound-state QED, refine fundamental constants, and potentially find New Physics. As experimental precision is continuously improved, it is a timely task to re-examine the sensitivity of specific bound states to New Physics scenarios.
Depending on their Bohr radii, hydrogen-like...

Coherent Elastic Neutrino-Nucleus Scattering (CEvNS) is an interaction well predicted by the Standard Model. Its large cross-section allows to study neutrinos with relatively small detectors. Precision measurement of the CEvNS cross-section is a way to study neutrino properties and search for new physics beyond the Standard Model. The NUCLEUS experiment aims to detect and characterize CEvNS...

We present the results of a partial wave analysis of the global real Compton scattering (RCS) database, extracting the leading scalar and spin polarisabilities of the proton.
Exploring the nucleon using electromagnetic probes reveals a fine and intricate interplay between its various structural properties. As an example, the nucleon polarisabilities encode the two-photon response, such as...

The accuracy of theoretical predictions for neutrino-nucleus scattering is a critical factor limiting the precise extraction of neutrino oscillation parameters in long-baseline experiments. To address this, we analyze electron-nucleus scattering in the quasi-elastic regime using the scaling method, where we abstract the scattering process from specific kinematics. We investigate the impact of...

Parity-violating electron scattering (PVES) on neutron-rich nuclei has proven to be a unique way to probe nuclear matter through the weak interaction. The same process measured on lighter nuclei represents a powerful way of extracting the weak mixing angle, a key parameter of the electroweak theory, in the low energy regime, thus allowing one to perform crucial tests of the Standard Model...

The neutron skin (NS) is a phenomenon of increased neutron to proton density ratio at the nuclear periphery. It is a prominent probe of the nuclear equation of state, connecting nuclear physics and astrophysics. The PREX experiment was the first to determine the NS in $^{208}$Pb through parity-violating electron scattering but had great uncertainty in the resulting NS thickness. The Mainz...

Precision measurements of permanent electric dipole moments (EDM) are among the most sensitive methods for exploring physics beyond the Standard Model of particle physics, particularly regarding charge-parity (CP) violation. The international nEDM collaboration at the Paul Scherrer Institut (PSI) aims to search for the neutron EDM with a sensitivity an order of magnitude higher than the...

The observation of neutrino oscillations and therefore non-zero neutrino masses provides a clear signature for physics beyond the Standard Model. However, the origin of these masses and whether neutrinos are Dirac or Majorana particles remains an open question. Searches for neutrinoless double beta decay ($0\nu\beta\beta$), a signature of Majorana neutrinos and new physics, is a focus of the...

Atomic spectroscopy is used to search for the space-time variation of fundamental constants which may be due to an interaction with scalar and pseudoscalar (axion) dark matter. In this Letter, we study the effects that are produced by the variation of the nuclear radius and electric quadrupole moment. The sensitivity of the electric quadrupole hyperfine structure to both the variation of the...

We present our progress towards a simplified analytical one-loop expression of the $W$-boson total width, expanding linearly in the fermion masses. We compare our results with previous studies where infinite terms are not explicitly subtracted.
