A model-independent treatment of dark-matter particle elastic scattering has been developed, yielding the most general interaction for WIMP-nucleon low-energy scattering, and the resulting amplitude has been embedded in the nucleus, taking into account the selection rules imposed by parity and time-reversal. One finds that, in contrast to the usual spin-independent/spin-dependent (SI/SD) formulation, the resulting cross section contains six independent nuclear response functions, three of which are associated with possible velocity-dependent interactions. We find that current experiments are four orders of magnitude more sensitive to derivative couplings than is apparent in the standard SI/SD treatment, which necessarily associates such interactions with cross sections proportional to the square of the WIMP velocity relative to the nuclear center of mass.

Amplitude and partial wave analyses for pion, eta or kaon photoproduction are discussed in the context of `complete experiments. It is shown that the model-independent helicity amplitudes obtained from at least 8 polarization observables including be am, target and recoil polarization can not be used to determine underlying resonance parameters. However, a truncated partial wave analysis, which theoretically requires only 5 observables will be possible with minimal model input.
We propose a new strategy to directly detect light particle dark matter that has long-ranged interactions with ordinary matter. The approach involves distorting the local flow of dark matter with time-varying fields and measuring these distortions wi th shielded resonant detectors. We apply this idea to sub-MeV dark matter particles with very small electric charges or coupled to a light vector mediator, including the freeze-in parameter space targeted by low mass direct detection efforts. This approach can probe dark matter masses ranging from 10 MeV to below a meV, extending beyond the capabilities of existing and proposed direct detection experiments.
We present a study of the symmetry energy (a_s) and its slope parameter (L) of nuclear matter in the general framework of the Landau-Migdal theory. We derive an exact relation between a_s and L, which involves the nucleon effective mass and three-par ticle Landau-Migdal parameters. We also present simple estimates which show that there are two main mechanisms to explain the empirical values of L: The proton-neutron effective mass difference in isospin asymmetric matter, and the isovector three-body Landau-Migdal parameter H_0. We give simple estimates of both effects and show that they are of similar magnitude.

We briefly review common features and overlapping issues in hadron and flavor physics focussing on continuum QCD approaches to heavy bound states, their mass spectrum and weak decay constants in different strong interaction models.
Relaxing the conventional assumption of a minimal coupling between the dark matter (DM) and dark energy (DE) fields introduces significant changes in the predicted evolution of the Universe. Therefore, testing such a possibility constitutes an essent ial task not only for cosmology but also for fundamental physics. In a previous communication [Phys. Rev. D99, 043521, 2019], we proposed a new null test for the $Lambda$CDM model based on the time dependence of the ratio between the DM and DE energy densities which is also able to detect potential signatures of interaction between the dark components. In this work, we extend that analysis avoiding the $ Lambda$CDM assumption and reconstruct the interaction in the dark sector in a fully model-independent way using data from type Ia supernovae, cosmic chronometers and baryonic acoustic oscillations. According to our analysis, the $Lambda$CDM model is consistent with our model-independent approach at least at $3sigma$ CL over the entire range of redshift studied. On the other hand, our analysis shows that the current background data do not allow us to rule out the existence of an interaction in the dark sector. Finally, we present a forecast for next-generation LSS surveys. In particular, we show that Euclid and SKA will be able to distinguish interacting models with about 4% of precision at $zapprox 1$.
