The axion-like particle (ALP) is a well motivated new particle candidate of beyond the Standard Model. In this work, we propose to probe the ALP through the photon fusion scattering at the upcoming Electron-Ion Collider (EIC) with electron and proton energy $E_e=20~{\rm GeV}$ and $E_p=250~{\rm GeV}$. It shows that we could constrain the effective coupling strength between ALP and photons to be $0.2~{\rm TeV}^{-1}$ at $2\sigma$ confidence level with the integrated luminosity of $300~{\rm fb}^{-1}$ for the mass range $m_a\in [5,40]~{\rm GeV}$. Such bound could be much improved if we consider the nucleus beam at the EIC. We also demonstrate that the limits from the EIC could be stronger than the off $Z$-pole measurement at the LEP and the Light-by-Light scattering with pp collision at the LHC.

  1. On Exclusive Coherent Production of Bosons in Electron-Proton Collisions

    hep-ph 2026-04 unverdicted novelty 6.0

    A phenomenological 2-to-3 framework is constructed for exclusive boson electroproduction that matches flux-factorized predictions near Q^{2}=0 while capturing finite-Q^{2} effects at larger virtualities.

  2. Braking protons at the EIC: from invisible meson decay to new physics searches

    hep-ph 2025-12 unverdicted novelty 6.0

    The EIC can probe invisible pseudoscalar meson decays down to branching ratios of 10^{-8} and invisibly decaying ALPs with couplings up to 10^5 GeV for masses 0.1-2 GeV.

  3. Dihadron azimuthal asymmetry and light-quark dipole moments at the Electron-Ion Collider

    hep-ph 2024-08 unverdicted novelty 6.0

    Proposal for a new observable—dihadron azimuthal asymmetry in unpolarized SIDIS at EIC—that isolates linear dependence on light-quark dipole couplings via SM-dipole interference.

  4. ALP and $Z^\prime$ boson at the Electron-Ion collider

    hep-ph 2026-01 conditional novelty 5.0

    Projected EIC tri-electron searches would constrain electron-coupled ALPs and Z' bosons more strongly than current experiments at masses of about 10-100 GeV and 10-30 GeV, respectively.

  5. Flavor physics at the EIC with b-jet tagging

    hep-ph 2026-01 conditional novelty 5.0

    Single b-jet counting in charged-current events at the EIC could probe new flavor-changing physics up to Λ_eff ≈ 5 TeV, about 30 times the collider energy, assuming tight b-tagging and polarized beams.

  6. 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.
