Axions: From magnetars and neutron star mergers to beam dumps and BECs

JF Fortin, HK Guo, SP Harris, D Kim… - International Journal of …, 2021 - World Scientific
We review topics in searches for axion-like-particles (ALPs), covering material that is
complementary to other recent reviews. The first half of our review covers ALPs in the …

Axion-like ALPs

F Arias-Aragón, J Quevillon, C Smith - Journal of High Energy Physics, 2023 - Springer
A bstract The Effective Field Theory (EFT) Lagrangian for a generic axion-like particle (ALP)
has many free parameters, and leaves quite some freedom for the expected …

Explaining the MiniBooNE anomalous excess via a leptophilic ALP-sterile neutrino coupling

CHV Chang, CR Chen, SY Ho, SY Tseng - Physical Review D, 2021 - APS
Recently, the MiniBooNE experiment at Fermilab has updated the results with increased
data and reported an excess of 560.6±119.6 electronlike events (4.7 σ) in the neutrino …

Same-sign taus signatures of maximally flavor-violating scalars at the LHC

A Alves, AG Dias, ES Almeida, DSV Gonçalves - Physical Review D, 2024 - APS
We explore single and double flavor-violating scalar (flavon) production at the 13 and 14
TeV LHC in an effective field theory formulation where flavons always change the flavor of …

Probing HNL‐ALP Couplings at Colliders

A de Giorgi, L Merlo, JL Tastet - Fortschritte der Physik, 2023 - Wiley Online Library
Axion‐like particles (ALPs) and heavy neutral leptons (HNLs) are both well‐motivated
extensions of the Standard Model. As ALPs couple to on‐shell fermions proportionally to …

Prospects for detecting axionlike particles via the decay at future factories

CX Yue, S Yang, H Wang, N Zhang - Physical Review D, 2022 - APS
We investigate the prospects for detecting axionlike particles (dubbed as “a”) via the decay
Z→ aff¯ at future Z factories. Considering the decay channels a→ μ+ μ-and a→ bb¯, four …

[HTML][HTML] Exclusive axionlike particle production by gluon–induced interactions in hadronic collisions

VP Goncalves, WK Sauter - Physics Letters B, 2020 - Elsevier
The exclusive production of axionlike particles (ALPs) by gluon–induced interactions is
investigated in this exploratory study considering pp and P b P b collisions for the energies …

Semidark Higgs boson decays: Sweeping the Higgs neutrino floor

JA Aguilar-Saavedra, JM Cano, DG Cerdeño, JM No - Physical Review D, 2022 - APS
We study exotic Higgs decays h→ ZX, with X an invisible beyond the Standard Model (SM)
particle, resulting in a semidark final state. Such exotic Higgs decays may occur in theories …

ALP-portal majorana dark matter

S Gola, S Mandal, N Sinha - International Journal of Modern Physics …, 2022 - World Scientific
Axion like particles (ALPs) and right-handed neutrinos (RHNs) are two well-motivated dark
matter (DM) candidates. However, these two particles have a completely different origin …

Heavy Neutral Leptons via Axion-Like Particles at Neutrino Facilities

AM Abdullahi, A de Gouvêa, B Dutta… - arXiv preprint arXiv …, 2023 - arxiv.org
Heavy neutral leptons (HNLs) are often among the hypothetical ingredients behind nonzero
neutrino masses. If sufficiently light, they can be produced and detected in fixed-target-like …
