Non-relativistic QCD axions or axion-like particles are among the most popular candidates for cold Dark Matter (DM) in the universe. We proposed to detect axion-like DM, using linearly polarized pulsar light as a probe. Because of…

Axion-like particles (ALPs) are interesting dark matter candidates both from the theoretical as well as from the experimental perspective. Usually they are motivated as pseudo-Nambu-Goldstone bosons. In this case one of their most important…
We study the possibility of probing the existence of a light, invisible, axion-like particle (ALP) $a$ in leptonic decays of the $Z$ boson at the proposed high-energy $e^+e^-$ colliders, CEPC and FCC-ee. Both projects plan to run at the $Z$…

We perform a feasibility study to search for axion-like particles (ALPs) using vector boson fusion (VBF) processes at the LHC. We work in an effective field theory framework with cutoff scale $\Lambda$ and ALP mass $m_{a}$, and assume that…
We study the collider phenomenology of leptophilic axion-like particles (ALPs), i.e. pseudoscalar particles that couple only to charged leptons. Loops of charged leptons induce effective interactions of the ALPs with photons, which depend…
Portal Matter, with both SM and dark charges, induces KM between the $U(1)_D$ dark photon and the SM gauge fields offering an attractive mechanism by which light thermal DM can obtain its observed relic density. If DM is fermionic, the CMB…
We consider the search for axion-like particles (ALPs) by using time series data of the polarization angle of the light. If the condensation of an ALP plays the role of dark matter, the polarization plane of the light oscillates as a…
