The axion-like particle (ALP) is one of the best motivated particles beyond the Standard Model (SM). We explore the possibility of detecting the couplings of ALP with leptons via three-lepton final state processes $e^- p \to e^- j a~(a \to…
We study the possibility of probing the existence of a light, invisible, axion-like particle (ALP) $a$ in leptonic decays of the $Z$ boson at the proposed high-energy $e^+e^-$ colliders, CEPC and FCC-ee. Both projects plan to run at the $Z$…
We study possible non-standard $tuZ$ and $tcZ$ couplings, which induce flavor-changing neutral-current decays of the top quark, in the effective-Lagrangian framework. The corresponding interaction Lagrangian comes from several $SU(3) \times…
We consider decays of $B$ and $K$ mesons into a pseudo-scalar or vector meson plus missing energy. Within the SM, these modes originate from flavor changing neutral current (FCNC) processes with two neutrinos in the final state. In this…

In the ALP model, lepton flavor violation (LFV) can arise from off-diagonal ALP-lepton couplings ($g_{a\ell_i\ell_j}$), which are absent in the Standard Model. We focus on ALP production via gluon fusion ($pp \to a$) at the Large Hadron…
In this paper, the production of Axion-Like Particles (ALPs) at $B$-factories via the process $e^+e^- \to \gamma a$ is revisited. To this purpose, the relevant cross-section is computed via an effective Lagrangian with simultaneous ALP…
We study axion-like particles (ALPs) with quark-flavor-violating couplings at the LHC. Specifically, we focus on the theoretical scenario with ALP-top-up and ALP-top-charm interactions, in addition to the more common quark-flavor-diagonal…
We obtain new bounds on effective ALP-neutrino interactions from their loop-level impact on the ALP couplings to electroweak gauge bosons $\gamma Z$, $ZZ$ and $W^+W^-$. Both types of interactions are connected via the chiral anomaly, which…
We investigate the prospects for detecting axion-like particles (ALPs, dubbed as "a") via the decay $Z\rightarrow a f\bar{f}$ at future $Z$ factories. Considering the decay channels $a\rightarrow \mu^+ \mu^-$ and $a\rightarrow b \bar{b}$ ,…
Any axionlike particle (ALP) intrinsically possesses flavorful couplings to the standard model (SM) fermions arising as a consequence of the right-handed flavor rotation within the SM. In this paper we discuss this intrinsically flavored…
An axion-like particle (ALP) offers a new direction in electroweak baryogenesis because the periodic nature enables it to trigger a strong first-order phase transition insensitively to the decay constant $f$. For $f$ much above TeV, the…
Axion-like particles (ALPs) arise in a variety of theoretical contexts and can, in general, mediate flavor violating interactions and parity non-conservation. We consider lepton flavor violating ALPs with GeV scale or larger masses which…

Axion-like particles (ALPs) are good candidates for mediators to the dark sector. We explore scenarios in which an ALP mediates interactions between dark matter and electroweak gauge bosons. These models yield testable electromagnetic…
Flavour Changing Neutral Current (FCNC) processes are forbidden at tree level in the Standard Model and highly suppressed at higher orders. This makes FCNC one of the key processes to search for new physics since any small deviations from…
We observe that most studies of axion-like particle (ALP) production channels at the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) focus on a single type of ALP operator for each process in the effective field theory framework. In this work, we propose an…
Lepton flavor violated processes are strongly suppressed in the Standard Model, but can be sizable in some extended models. The current experimental bounds on decay modes $\ell'^{\pm} \to a \ell^{\pm}$ are much weaker than the other…
