Description

The next-generation rare pion decay experiment, PIONEER, aims to use the intense pion beam at the Paul Scherrer Institut to study many more pion decays at rest than previous experiments. In this talk, I will discuss the opportunities to detect new light particles in pion decays. In particular, I will show that axion-like particles and dark photons are prime targets for the experiment. These searches can be carried out in parallel with the existing efforts to test lepton flavor university.
