Axion-like particles (ALPs) are pseudo Nambu-Goldstone bosons associated with spontaneously broken global symmetries emerging in many extensions of the Standard Model. Assuming the most general effective Lagrangian up to dimension-5 operators for an ALP interacting with the SM fields, we investigate for the first time the sensitivity of the LHC13 to the ALP production in association with a di-jet. This study is focused on light ALPs which appear as invisible particles at the detector. Performing a realistic detector simulation and deploying a multivariate technique to best discriminate the signal from backgrounds, we set expected upper bounds on the ALP coupling to gluons. A comprehensive set of background processes is considered, and it is shown that this process provides significant sensitivity to the ALP-gluon coupling and the resulting bound is more stringent than those already obtained at the LHC. We also present prospects for the HE-LHC27 and FCC-hh100 and show that these future colliders are able to improve the limits from the LHC by roughly one order of magnitude.

  1. ALP pair production at the LHC

    hep-ph 2026-07 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    Non-resonant gg→aa→4γ production could constrain the dimension-6 ALP-gluon coupling down to ~10^-3 TeV^-2 at 300 fb^-1, but the allowed parameter space remains unbounded along multiple flat directions.

  2. Concurrent Exploration of Axion-Like Particle Interactions with Gauge Bosons at the LHC

    hep-ph 2025-05 conditional novelty 5.0 of 10

    Expected and observed 95% CL limits on the ALP couplings to gluons and W bosons are derived for a 1 MeV ALP, from simulated ZZa/WWa events at the HL-LHC and from recast CMS Z+jets and W+jets measurements.
