Axion-like particles (ALPs) can be produced in the hot dense plasma of fireballs that develop in the initial stage of $\gamma$-ray burst (GRB) outflows. They can transport an enormous amount of energy away from the jet by propagating out of…
High energy gamma-rays propagating in external magnetic fields may convert into axion-like particles (ALPs). In this case, the observed gamma-ray spectra are modified by the resulting energy-dependent conversion probability. In this study,…
In many approaches to describe physics beyond the standard model, light Nambu-Goldstone bosons (named axion-like particles or ALPS for their similarity with the axion) are predicted to exist. For ALPs with a mass of neV, photon-ALPs…
Axion-like particles (ALPs) arise from well-motivated extensions to the Standard Model and could account for dark matter. ALP dark matter would manifest as a field oscillating at an (as of yet) unknown frequency. The frequency depends…
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…

A strong bound on the properties of axion-like particles (ALPs) has been set by assuming that ALPs are emitted by the protoneutron star just before the core-bounce in Galactic core-collapse supernovae, and that these ALPs subsequently…
