This search uses an integrated luminosity of 100 pb$^{-1}\\cdot$nucleon on a $^{12}$C target, and explores the mass region of 200 < $m_a$ < 450 MeV via the decay $X\\rightarrow\\gamma\\gamma$. This mass range is between the $\\pi^0$ and $\\eta$ masses, which enables the use of the measured $\\eta$ production rate to obtain absolute bounds on the ALP production with reduced sensitivity to experimental luminosity and detection efficiency.
