We derive production yields for massive pseudo-scalar and scalar axion-like-particles (ALPs), through non-linear Compton scattering of an electron in the background of low- and high-intensity electromagnetic fields. In particular, we focus on electromagnetic fields from Gaussian plane wave laser pulses. A detailed study of the angular distributions and effects of the scalar and pseudo-scalar masses is presented. It is shown that ultra-relativistic seed electrons can be used to produce scalars and pseudo-scalars with masses up to the order of the electron mass. We briefly discuss future applications of this work towards lab-based searches for light beyond-the-Standard-Model particles.

  1. Searching for long-lived ALPs with a laser-assisted optical dump

    hep-ph 2026-07 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    A laser-assisted optical dump could probe ALP-electron couplings down to ~10^-6 (10^-7) GeV^-1 with 16.5 (125) GeV electron beams, and when both couplings are present the Primakoff process improves the electron-coupli...

  2. Laser induced Compton Scattering to Dark Matter in Effective Field Theory

    hep-ph 2025-01 conditional novelty 4.0 of 10

    Electrons struck by an intense laser can decay into a light dark matter pair; at LUXE this could probe EFT cutoffs near 1 GeV for dimension-6 operators and 10^3-10^4 GeV for dipole operators with dark matter below 1 MeV.
