Recent intensive theoretical and experimental studies shed light on possible new physics beyond the standard model of particle physics, which can be probed with sub-eV energy experiments. In the second run of the OSQAR photon regeneration experiment, which looks for the conversion of photon to axion (or Axion-Like Particle), two spare superconducting dipole magnets of the Large Hadron Collider (LHC) have been used. In this paper we report on first results obtained from a light beam propagating in vacuum within the 9 T field of two LHC dipole magnets. No excess of events above the background was detected and the two-photon couplings of possible new scalar and pseudo-scalar particles could be constrained.

    hep-ph 2024-10 unverdicted novelty 6.0

    Proposes resonant detection of QCD axions (0.1-2.3 meV) and dark photons (down to epsilon ~2e-16) via highly excited electron cyclotron states in an open-endcap Penning trap compatible with large cavities.
