The dark axion portal is a dimension-5 coupling between an axion-like particle (ALP), a photon, and a dark photon, which is one of the targets of the intensity frontier searches looking for $\sim\,$sub-GeV long-lived particles (LLPs). In…

We study a model in which a new interactions between the Standard Model (SM) photon and both the dark photon ($\gamma_D)$ and an ALP ($a$) are described by the dark axion portal operator. The implications of this dark axion portal scenario…

As constraints on ultralight axion-like particles (ALPs) tighten, models with multiple species of ultralight ALP are of increasing interest. We perform simulations of two-ALP models with particles in the currently supported range…
