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

A.V. Kisselev, S.C. Inan

The FCC-hh collider can set new limits on heavy axion-like particles through light-by-light scattering in proton and ion collisions.

The bundle contains the canonical record plus signed events. A mirror can host it anywhere and recompute the same current state with the deterministic merge algorithm.

Claims

C1strongest claim

The strongest limit on the ALP coupling is obtained if m_a ≃ 250 GeV for the PbPb collisions, and if m_a ≃ 1 TeV for pp or pPb collisions. This suggests that the FCC-hh has a great physics potential of searching for the heavy ALPs.

C2weakest assumption

The projected limits assume the quoted integrated luminosities (30 ab^{-1}, 27 pb^{-1}, 110 nb^{-1}) will be achieved and that standard-model backgrounds and detector efficiencies can be controlled at the level needed to extract the light-by-light signal.

C3one line summary

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