A minimal electrophilic ALP portal for SIMP pion dark matter widens the allowed parameter space, making an ALP mass of order 10 MeV viable and consistent with the X17 anomaly.
The authors combine PADME positron annihilation data with nuclear transition results to report a refined mass for the hypothetical X17 boson of 16.88 ± 0.05 MeV.
