The Mu2e and COMET experiments are expected to improve existing limits on charged lepton flavor violation (CLFV) by roughly four orders of magnitude. $\mu\rightarrow e$ conversion experiments are typically optimized for electrons produced…
Axion Like Particles (ALPs) belong to a well motivated class of particles which are part of a more complete UV theory. In this work, we initiate and present the inclusion of such ALPs or the conventional axions in the Heavy Hadron Chiral…
In this paper, we explore the phenomenology of massive Axion-Like Particles (ALPs) coupled to quarks and gluons, dubbed 'QCD ALPs', with an emphasis on the associated low-energy observables. ALPs coupled to gluons and quarks not only induce…
In the context of general Minimal Supersymmetric Standard Model (MSSM), new sources for Lepton Flavor Violation (LFV) as well as CP-violation appear. We show that in the presence of LFV sources, the electric dipole moment of the electron…
We perform a comprehensive analysis of dark matter-nucleon scattering via the exchange of axion-like particles (ALPs). At first sight, this might appear of little practical use, as non-relativistic scattering through pseudo-scalar…
We investigate nuclear mu-e conversion in the framework of an effective Lagrangian arising from the inverse seesaw model of neutrino masses. We consider lepton flavour violation interactions that arise from short range (non-photonic) as…
The axion-like particle (ALP) may induce flavor-changing neutral currents (FCNCs) when their Peccei-Quinn charges are not generation universal. The search for flavor-violating ALP couplings with a bottom quark so far focused on FCNC…

New one- and two-loop contributions to the lepton's and nucleon's EDM, which are induced by an axion-like particle dark matter background, are examined. These contributions include effects from CP-violating ALP interactions with photons,…
We consider the case that $\mu$-$e$ conversion signal is discovered but other charged lepton flavor violating (cLFV) processes will never be found. In such a case, we need other approaches to confirm the $\mu$-$e$ conversion and its…
We study nuclear muon-electron (mu-e) conversion in the general framework of effective Lagrangian approach without referring to any specific realization of the physics beyond the standard model (SM) responsible for lepton flavor violation…
Axion-like particles (ALPs) are pseudo Nambu-Goldstone bosons associated with spontaneously broken global symmetries emerging in many extensions of the Standard Model. Assuming the most general effective Lagrangian up to dimension-5…
In hidden-sector models, axion-like particles (ALPs) can couple to heavy neutral leptons (HNLs), leading to rich phenomenologies. We study ALPs produced from $D$- and $B$-meson decays via quark-flavor-violating couplings, and decaying…
Axion-like particles (ALPs) are well-motivated examples of light, weakly coupled particles in theories beyond the Standard Model. In this work, we study long-lived ALPs coupled exclusively to leptons in the mass range between $2 m_e$ and…
In this article, we present projected 95\% C.L. limits on Axion-Like Particle (ALP) couplings from ALP production at a future $e^+e^-$ collider operating at $\sqrt{s} = 250~\text{GeV}$ with integrated luminosity $L = 0.5~\text{ab}^{-1}$. We…

We study the production of axion-like particles (ALPs) in association with electrons and neutrinos in the muon decay process. For this purpose, we compute the decay width of the muon to a four-body channel using a $d=7$ effective operator…
We extend the effective theory of Minimal Lepton Flavor Violation (MLFV) by including four-lepton operators. We compute the rates for mu -> 3 e and tau -> 3 ell decays and point out several new ways to test the hypothesis of MLFV. We also…

We propose new perspective in searching for axion-like particles (ALPs) from quark and lepton flavor physics: measurements of the time-dependent CP asymmetry in $B^0 \to K_S^0 \pi^0 \gamma$ and the branching ratio of $B_s \to e^\pm \mu^\mp$…
