We present a comprehensive study of axion-like particles (ALPs) in meson decays, combining effective field theory and ultraviolet models within the open-source tool ALPaca. The analysis accounts for running and matching effects across energy scales, including non-perturbative QCD corrections via chiral perturbation theory. We discuss several benchmark models, both flavour-universal and non-universal, using the most up-to-date theoretical computations for ALP decays and branching ratios. Experimental signatures such as prompt, displaced, and invisible decays are included. A dedicated analysis of the Belle II anomaly in the decay $B^+ \to K^+ \nu \bar{\nu}$ is performed. Our results highlight the power of flavour observables in constraining ALPs and provide a versatile foundation for future searches.

  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. Crossing into the $m_a > f_a$ Region for Leptophilic ALPs

    hep-ph 2026-04 unverdicted novelty 6.0

    Leptophilic ALPs with m_a > f_a can explain the electron anomalous magnetic moment tension over a large parameter space and are testable via μ→e conversion.

  3. Low-Multiplicity Jets as Probes of GeV-Scale Light-Quark-Coupled Particles

    hep-ph 2026-04 unverdicted novelty 6.0

    A proposed LHC search using low-multiplicity jets plus a photon can extend sensitivity to GeV-scale particles that couple to light quarks.

  4. Dark Matter emission at Belle II and NA62 in Minimal Flavor Violation framework

    hep-ph 2026-01 unverdicted novelty 5.0

    A single nearly degenerate dark matter multiplet in the MFV framework can accommodate either the K+ to pi+ nu nubar or B+ to K+ nu nubar excess but not both simultaneously.
