We describe the possibility of constraining such a model using a superfluid He-4 detector, by means of an effective theory for the description of the superfluid phonon. We find that such a detector could provide bounds that are competitive with other direct detection experiments only for ultralight vector mediator, in agreement with previous studies. As a byproduct we also present, for the first time, the low-energy effective field theory for the interaction between photons and phonons.", optnote="WOS:000515091400017", optnote="exported from refbase (https://references.ific.uv.es/refbase/show.php?record=4349), last updated on Thu, 18 Jun 2020 11:09:38 +0000", issn="0370-2693", doi="10.1016/j.phystab.2020.135258", opturl="https://arxiv.org/abs/1911.04511", opturl="https://doi.org/10.1016/j.phystab.2020.135258", language="English" }
