abstract

In this paper, the production of Axion-Like Particles (ALPs) at $B$-factories via the process $e^+e^- \to \gamma a$ is revisited. To this purpose, the relevant cross-section is computed via an effective Lagrangian with simultaneous ALP couplings to $b$-quarks and photons. The interplay between resonant and non-resonant contributions is shown to be relevant for experiments operating at $\sqrt{s}=m_{\Upsilon(nS)}$, with $n=1,2,3$, while the non-resonant one dominates at $\Upsilon(4S)$. These effects imply that the experimental searches performed at different quarkonia resonances are sensitive to complementary combinations of ALP couplings. To illustrate these results, constraints from existing BaBar and Belle data on ALPs decaying into invisible final states are derived, and the prospects for the Belle-II experiment are discussed.

  1. Constraints on axion-like particles using lattice QCD calculations of the rate for $J/\psi \to \gamma a$

    hep-lat 2025-02 conditional novelty 8.0 of 10

    First lattice QCD calculation of the J/psi to gamma plus axion-like-particle form factor, with under 2% uncertainty, used to update ALP constraints.

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

    hep-ph 2026-06 unverdicted novelty 6.0 of 10

    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.

  3. Light new physics and the $\tau$ lepton dipole moments

    hep-ph 2025-11 unverdicted novelty 6.0 of 10

    This work provides a comprehensive analysis of light new physics contributions to tau lepton dipole moments, detailing interpretations of asymmetry measurements for spin-0 and spin-1 bosons, their decoupling to the EF...

  4. Could an axion-like particle be hidden in $\eta_c\to\gamma\gamma$?

    hep-ph 2025-06 conditional novelty 5.0 of 10

    The authors propose that an axion-like particle with mass about 2.98 GeV and width about 31 MeV may explain the discrepancy in eta_c to gamma gamma measurements and show it is not yet excluded.

  5. Dark sector search at BESIII

    hep-ex 2025-07 unverdicted

    This proceedings article restates four already-published BESIII dark sector searches, all of which found no signal and produced new upper limits.
