Motivated by the recent Xenon1T result, we study a leptophilic flavour-dependent anomaly-free axion-like particle (ALP) and its effects on charged-lepton flavour violation (CLFV). We present two representative models. The first one…

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 the light of recent measurement of muon $(g-2)$, we investigate the phenomenological implications of an axion-like particle (ALP) which only couples to the standard model charged leptons. We find that in a narrow mass range of ALP, it…

We present a model with $A_4 \times U(1)_{PQ}$ lepton flavor symmetry which explains the origin of the lepton flavor structure and also solves the strong $CP$ problem. Standard model gauge singlet fields, so-called "flavons", charged under…
