Axion-like particles (ALPs), the QCD axion, and dark photons in the MeV-GeV mass range are motivated by various dark matter models and the strong CP problem, and are ubiquitous in extensions of the Standard Model. A long-standing blind spot…
Axions or axion-like particles (ALPs) are well-motivated dark matter (DM) candidates whose coupling to photons induces periodic oscillations in the polarization angle of astrophysical light. This work reports the first search for such a…

Axion-like particles (ALPs) can account for the observed dark matter (DM) of the Universe and if their masses are at the eV scale, they can decay into infrared, optical and ultraviolet photons with a decay lifetime larger than the age of…
