  • The Atomki anomaly puts forward the hypothesis of an $X(17)$ particle to explain the observation. Utilizing experimental data from the Atomki experiments, measurements of the electron's anomalous magnetic moment, beam dump experiments, the KLOE-2 experiment, the PADME experiment, and the parity-violating Møller scattering experiment, we derive constraints on the couplings of the $X(17)$ boson to electrons. Our findings indicate that no viable parameter spaces exist for the pseudoscalar, scalar, vector, axial-vector, and vector$\pm$axial-vector models describing the couplings of $X(17)$ to electrons. The Atomki anomaly may not correspond to signals of New Physics, but rather to some nuclear effect that remains poorly understood.
