abstract

A pseudoscalar or scalar particle $\phi$ that couples to two photons but not to leptons, quarks and nucleons would have effects in most of the experiments searching for axions, since these are based on the $a \gamma \gamma $ coupling. We examine the laboratory, astrophysical and cosmological constraints on $\phi$ and study whether it may constitute a substantial part of the dark matter. We also generalize the $\phi$ interactions to possess $SU(2) \times U(1)$ gauge invariance, and analyze the phenomenological implications.

  1. Constraints on Axion-Like Particles with the Silicon Detector at a Nuclear Reactor

    hep-ph 2026-01 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    New 90% C.L. limits on the ALP–photon coupling in the 0.1–100 keV range are derived from Connie and Atucha-II reactor data via plasmon excitation in silicon; a 30 kg·yr Oscura-style run could improve on NEON by about tenfold.

  2. Nucleosynthesis and CMB bounds on photophilic ALPs: a fresh look

    hep-ph 2025-10 unverdicted novelty 5.0 of 10

    Updated model-independent BBN and CMB bounds on photophilic ALPs that incorporate rare decays to light hadrons, show extended constraints for multiple reheating temperatures, and flag parameter space that may alleviat...

  3. Probing ALP-portal fermionic dark matter at the $e^+e^-$ colliders

    hep-ph 2025-05 conditional novelty 5.0 of 10

    A 1 TeV ILC with polarized beams could discover GeV-scale ALP-portal dark matter through mono-photon plus missing energy at 7.6 sigma and measure the ALP-photon coupling to about 1%.

  4. Probing Heavy Axion-like Particles from Massive Stars with X-rays and Gamma Rays

    hep-ph 2024-12 conditional novelty 5.0 of 10

    Decay photons from heavy ALPs produced in Wolf-Rayet stars can be probed by INTEGRAL SPI down to gaγ ~ 4e-11 GeV^-1 for ma ~ 10-100 keV, modestly extending existing limits.
