Ultralight axion-like particles can contribute to the dark matter near the Sun, leading to a distinct, stochastic signature in terrestrial experiments. We search for such particles through their neutron-spin coupling by re-analyzing…
We have searched for solar axions with a detector which consists of a 4T x 2.3m superconducting magnet, PIN-photodiode X-ray detectors, and an altazimuth mount to track the sun. The conversion region is filled with cold helium gas which…

Starting from hyperbolic dispersion relations, we derive a system of Roy--Steiner equations for pion Compton scattering that respects analyticity, unitarity, gauge invariance, and crossing symmetry. It thus maintains all symmetries of the…

String theory, if it describes nature, is probably strongly coupled. As a result, one might despair of making any statements about the theory. In the framework of a set of clearly spelled out assumptions, we show that this is not…
We investigate the possibility of enhancement of effective axion decay constant in well controlled constructions in string theory. To this end, we study the dynamics of axions arising in the compactifications of type IIA string theory on…
In the presence of a magnetic field, axions can convert into photons and vice versa. The phenomenology of the conversion is captured by a system of two coupled Klein-Gordon equations, which, assuming that the axion is relativistic, is…
New limits on the axion-nucleon coupling over the axion mass region $10^{-24} \leq m_a \leq 5 \times 10^{-21}$ eV are derived by reanalyzing data from laboratory measurements on Lorentz and $CPT$ violation. These results establish the first…
We search for an axion-like particle (ALP) $a$ through the process $\psi(3686)\rightarrow\pi^+\pi^-J/\psi$, $J/\psi\rightarrow\gamma a$, $a\rightarrow\gamma\gamma$ in a data sample of $(2.71\pm0.01)\times10^9$ $\psi(3686)$ events collected…
The sensitivities of large arrays of low-background germanium detectors for solar axion searches are investigated in the context of three coupling scenarios. A search was made for the 14.4-keV axion branch from the M1-transition in the…
In this article, the three point QCD sum rules is used to compute the strong coupling constants of vertices containing the strange bottomed ( charmed ) mesons with pion. The coupling constants are calculated, when both the bottom ( charm )…
An axion dark matter search with the CAPP-8TB haloscope is reported. Our results are sensitive to axion-photon coupling $g_{a\gamma\gamma}$ down to the QCD axion band over the axion mass range between 6.62 and 6.82 $\mu$eV at a 90\%…
We revisit the study of light interacting with QCD axion domain walls from the perspective of the non-linear axion coupling to photons, $g(a) F \tilde F$, which encodes the effects related to the breaking of the axion shift symmetry…
We study the anomalous $WW\gamma$ couplings at the Compact Linear Collider through the processes $e^{+}e^{-}\to W^+W^-$, $e^{-}e^{+} \to e^{-} \gamma^{*} e^{+} \to e^{+} \nu_{e} W^-$ and $e^{-}e^{+}\to e^{-} \gamma^{*} \gamma^{*} e^{+} \to…
We consider the static quantum potential for a gauge theory which includes a light massive vector field interacting with the familiar $U(1)_{QED}$ photon via a Chern-Simons- like coupling, by using the gauge-invariant, but path-dependent,…
The coupling constant of f0-->omega-gamma decay is calculated using 3-point sum rule and light cone QCD sum rules. We investigate the results within the two-models which depend on mixing angle.
Ultralight axions with axion-photon couplings $g_{a\gamma\gamma} \sim {\rm few} \times 10^{-11}$ GeV$^{-1}$ may resolve a number of astrophysical anomalies, such as unexpected ~TeV transparency, anomalous stellar cooling, and X-ray excesses…
We investigate the effective interaction of a pseudoscalar particle with two photons in an external electromagnetic field in the general case of all external particles being off the mass shell. This interaction is used to study the…
