Axions and axion-like particles: collider searches
Axions and axion-like particles: collider searches
We give an overview of collider searches for Axion-like particles (ALPs). The intention of this review is to give a pedagogical introduction to collider phenomenology of ALPs, and provide a starting point for newcomers, including suitable references to deepen their knowledge. We motivate how ALPs arise from the breaking of approximate global symmetries and describe their interactions across different scales in an effective field theory framework. We further review the dominant production and decay channels for ALPs at high-energy hadron and lepton colliders as well as indirect ways to probe their interactions via precision measurements of Standard Model processes.

Abstract
We give an overview of collider searches for Axion-like particles (ALPs). The intention of this review is to give a pedagogical introduction to collider phenomenology of ALPs, and provide a starting point for newcomers, including suitable references to deepen their knowledge. We motivate how ALPs arise from the breaking of approximate global symmetries and describe their interactions across different scales in an effective field theory framework. We further review the dominant production and decay channels for ALPs at high-energy hadron and lepton colliders as well as indirect ways to probe their interactions via precision measurements of Standard Model processes.
