We argue that a large region of so far unconstrained parameter space for axion-like particles (ALPs), where their couplings to the Standard Model are of order $(0.01\!-\!1)\,\mbox{TeV}^{-1}$, can be explored by searches for the exotic Higgs decays $h\to Za$ and $h\to aa$ in Run-2 of the LHC. Almost the complete region in which ALPs can explain the anomalous magnetic moment of the muon can be probed by searches for these decays with subsequent decay $a\to\gamma\gamma$, even if the relevant couplings are loop suppressed and the $a\to\gamma\gamma$ branching ratio is less than~1.

  1. The KSVZ Atlas: A Unified SMEFT-ALP Framework

    hep-ph 2026-06 unverdicted novelty 6.0

    A matching framework from arbitrary KSVZ UV completions to SMEFT and ALP EFT yields robust operator bounds from global fits that often dominate direct ALP searches except when mass mixing occurs.

  2. Lepton $g-2$ non-universality of hadronic contributions and a sub-GeV window to New Physics

    hep-ph 2026-06 unverdicted novelty 6.0

    A rescaled difference a_μ-e of lepton g-2 values cancels short-distance effects and cuts hadronic vacuum polarization uncertainty by ~85%, offering a cleaner probe for sub-GeV new physics.

  3. A search for heavy axion-like particles in light-by-light scattering at the FCC-hh

    hep-ph 2026-03 unverdicted novelty 3.0

    Computes production cross sections and sensitivity limits for heavy ALPs in light-by-light scattering at FCC-hh across pp, pPb, and PbPb modes.
