Search for Axion(-like) Particles in Heavy-Ion Collisions

4 Feb 2021  ·  Yi Yang, Cheng-Wei Lin ·

We propose a novel way to search for axion(-like) particles in heavy-ion collisions using prompt photons as the probe and the property of conversion between photon and axion(-like) particles under a strong magnetic field generated in the non-central collisions. The expected result reveals that a new phase space region of the coupling constant for photon and axion(-like) particles can be covered in the future high energy nuclear colliders.
