17 MeV Atomki anomaly from short-distance structure of spacetime
Abstract An anomaly observed recently in the $$^8 \hbox {Be}$$ 8Be nuclear transition by the Atomki collaboration hints at a weakly-coupled, light new gauge boson with a mass of about 17 MeV. In this paper, we propose that this new gauge boson comes from a short-distance structure of the spacetime,...
