High-energy photons may oscillate with axion-like particles (ALPs) when they propagate through the Milky Way's magnetic field, resulting in an alteration in the observed photon energy spectrum. The ultra-high energy gamma-ray spectra,…
We consider the complete leading-order -- dimension five -- effective linear Lagrangian for ALPs. The full set of one-loop contributions to ALP-SM effective couplings are derived, including all finite corrections. A few phenomenological…

In this paper we study axion-like particles (ALPs) with lepton-flavour-violating (LFV) couplings in the mass regime above the muon threshold, $m_a>m_\mu$, where the strong bound from the exotic muon decay $\mu\to ea$ no longer apply and the…

Axion-like particles (ALPs) are predicted by many extensions of the Standard Model (SM). When ALP mass lies in the range of MeV to GeV, the cosmology and astrophysics will be largely irrelevant. In this work, we investigate such light ALPs…
Axion-like particles (ALPs) are new particles that extend beyond the standard model (SM) and are highly motivated. When considering ALPs within an effective field theory framework, their couplings with SM particles can be studied…

We show that in theories of axionlike particles (ALPs) coupled to electrons at tree-level, the one-loop effective coupling to photons is process dependent: the effective coupling relevant for decay processes, $g_{a\gamma}^{\text{(D)}}$,…
Several extensions of the Standard Model predict the existence of Axion-Like Particles (ALPs), very light spin-zero bosons with a two-photon coupling. ALPs can give rise to observable effects in very-high-energy astrophysics. Above roughly…
Leptophilic axion-like particles (ALPs) exhibit rich phenomenology, focusing exclusively on interactions between an ALP and Standard Model (SM) leptons. Through integration by parts, it is shown that both the three-point interaction,…
The low-energy effective field theory (LEFT) provides the appropriate framework to describe particle interactions below the scale of electroweak symmetry breaking, $\mu_w\sim v$. By matching the Standard Model onto the LEFT, non-zero Wilson…
We study portal interactions connecting visible and dark sectors, and involving local interactions of a photon, a dark photon and a axion-like particle (ALP) at future $e^+e^-$ colliders. These interactions, mediated by higher-dimensional…
Axion-like particles (ALPs), relatively light (pseudo-)scalars coupled to two gauge bosons, are a common feature of many extensions of the Standard Model. Up to now there has been a gap in the sensitivity to such particles in the MeV to 10…
We propose an interferometry experiment for the detection of axion-like particles (ALPs). As in ordinary photon-regeneration (light shining through a wall) experiments, a laser beam traverses a region permeated by a magnetic field, where…
Axion-Like Particles (ALPs) are well-motivated candidates for dark matter and potential mediators to the dark sector. We present a search for ALPs coupled to photons, based on a reinterpretation of COMPASS data. Using the 2009 dataset…
We propose the use of FASER as a light-shining-through-walls experiment to search for axions and axion-like particles (ALPs). LHC collisions generate a high intensity and high energy photon flux in the forward direction which can oscillate…
In the presence of an axion or axion-like particle (ALP) that couples to the Standard Model via dimension-five interactions, dimension-six SMEFT interactions are generated via renormalization-group evolution. As many of these SMEFT…
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…
