Probing axionlike particles with <mml:math xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" display="inline"><mml:mi>γ</mml:mi><mml:mi>γ</mml:mi></mml:math> final states from vector boson fusion processes at the LHC
We perform a feasibility study to search for axion-like particles (ALPs) using vector boson fusion (VBF) processes at the LHC. We work in an effective field theory framework with cutoff scale $\Lambda$ and ALP mass $m_{a}$, and assume that ALPs couple to photons with strength $\propto 1/\Lambda$. Assuming proton-proton collisions …
