Bounds on new light particles from high-energy and very small momentum transfer n p elastic scattering data

We found that spin-one new light particle exchanges are strongly bounded by high-energy and small momentum transfer n p elastic scattering data; the analogous bound for a scalar particle is considerably weaker, while for a pseudoscalar particle no bounds can be set. These bounds are compared with the bounds extracted from low-energy n-Pb scattering experiments and from the bounds of pi(0) and K+ meson decays.
