New Directions for Axion Searches via Scattering at Reactor Neutrino Experiments

New Directions for Axion Searches via Scattering at Reactor Neutrino Experiments

Searches for pseudoscalar axionlike-particles (ALPs) typically rely on their decay in beam dumps or their conversion into photons in haloscopes and helioscopes. We point out a new experimental direction for ALP probes via their production by the intense gamma ray flux available from megawatt-scale nuclear reactors at neutrino experiments through …
