abstract

We derive partial-wave unitarity constraints on gauge-invariant interactions of an Axion-Like Particle (ALP) up to dimension-6 from all allowed $2\to2$ scattering processes in the limit of large center-of-mass energy. We find that the strongest bounds stem from scattering amplitudes with one external ALP and only apply to the coupling to a pair of $SU(2)_L$ gauge bosons. Couplings to $U(1)_Y$ and $SU(3)_C$ gauge bosons and to fermions are more loosely constrained.

  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. Positivity and partial wave unitarity bounds on ALP theories via amplitude methods

    hep-ph 2025-10 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    Complete partial-wave unitarity and positivity bounds are derived for ALP effective interactions up to dimension 8, with new SMEFT positivity constraints as a byproduct.

  3. String Theory and Grand Unification Suggest a Sub-Microelectronvolt QCD Axion

    hep-ph 2025-05 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    String-theoretic axions consistent with grand unification and proton decay are predicted to have masses in the 3e-11 to 1e-8 eV window, with at most 47 axions in the Kreuzer-Skarke ensemble.

  4. Analysis of axion-like particles in a top-quark pair production at the CLIC

    hep-ph 2025-01 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    A simulation shows the CLIC gamma-gamma mode could exclude ALP-top couplings down to about 0.11 TeV^-1 for ALP masses near 10 GeV.
