A new measurement of $B_{pi e2}$, the $pi^+ to e^+ u(gamma)$ decay branching ratio, is currently under way at the Paul Scherrer Institute. The present experimental result on $B_{pi e2}$ constitutes the most accurate test of lepton universality available. The accuracy, however, still lags behind the theoretical precision by over an order of magnitude. Thanks to the large helicity suppression of $pi_{e2}$ decay, the branching ratio is susceptible to significant contributions from new physics, making this decay a particularly suitable subject of study.

With few open channels and uncomplicated theoretical description, charged pion decays are uniquely sensitive to certain standard model (SM) symmetries, the universality of weak fermion couplings, and to aspects of pion structure and chiral dynamics.
We review the current knowledge of the pion electronic decay $pi^+ to e^+ u_e({gamma})$, or $pi_{e2({gamma})}$, and the resulting limits on non-SM processes. Focusing on the PEN experiment at the Paul Scherrer Institute (PSI), Switzerland, we examine the prospects for further improvement in the near term.
Allowed charged $pi$ meson decays are characterized by simple dynamics, few available decay channels, mainly into leptons, and extremely well controlled radiative and loop corrections. In that sense, pion decays represent a veritable triumph of the s
tandard model (SM) of elementary particles and interactions. This relative theoretical simplicity makes charged pion decays a sensitive means for testing the underlying symmetries and the universality of weak fermion couplings, as well as for studying pion structure and chiral dynamics. Even after considerable recent improvements, experimental precision is lagging far behind that of the theoretical description for pion decays. We review the current state of experimental study of the pion electronic decay $pi^+ to e^+ u_e(gamma)$, or $pi_{e2(gamma)}$, where the $(gamma)$ indicates inclusion and explicit treatment of radiative decay events. We briefly review the limits on non-SM processes arising from the present level of experimental precision in $pi_{e2(gamma)}$ decays. Focusing on the PEN experiment at the Paul Scherrer Institute (PSI), Switzerland, we examine the prospects for further improvement in the near term.
The realm of strong classical gravity and perhaps even quantum gravity are waiting to be explored. In this letter we consider the recently detected triple system composed of two stars and a non-accreting black hole. Using published observations of th
is system we conduct the most sensitive test to date for whether the black hole is actually a wormhole by looking for orbital perturbations due to an object on the other side of the wormhole. The mass limit obtained on the perturber is $sim4$ orders of magnitude better than for observations of S2 orbiting the supermassive black hole at Sgr A*. We also consider how observations of a pulsar could test for whether the black hole in a pulsar-black hole binary is a wormhole. A pulsar in a similar orbit to S2 would be $sim10$ orders of magnitude more sensitive than observations of S2. For a nominal pulsar-black hole binary of stellar masses, with orbital size similar to that of the Hulse-Taylor binary pulsar, one year of observations could set a mass limit on a perturber that is $sim6$ orders of magnitude better than observations of a pulsar around Sgr~A*. A range of limits between the pulsar-Sgr~A* and Hulse-Taylor cases could be obtained for a possible population of pulsar-black hole binaries that may exist near the galactic center.
In this paper a new method is presented for particles in storage rings which could reach a statistical sensitivity of 10**(-27) e cm for the deuteron EDM. This implies an improvement of two orders of magnitude over the present best limits on the T-odd nuclear forces ksi parameter.
NEWAGE is a direction-sensitive dark matter search using a low-pressure gaseous time projection chamber. A low alpha-ray emission rate micro pixel chamber had been developed in order to reduce background for dark matter search. We conducted the dark
matter search at the Kamioka Observatory in 2018. The total live time was 107.6 days corresponding to an exposure of 1.1 kg${cdot}$days. Two events remained in the energy region of 50-60 keV which was consistent with 2.5 events of the expected background. A directional analysis was carried out and no significant forward-backward asymmetry derived from the WIMP-nucleus elastic scatterings was found. Thus a 90% confidence level upper limit on Spin-Dependent WIMP-proton cross section of 50 pb for a WIMP mass of 100 GeV/c2 was derived. This limit is the most stringent yet obtained from direction-sensitive dark matter search experiments.
