Search for off-shell ALPs in ATLAS — •Vincent Goumarre — Deutsches Elektronen-Synchrotron (DESY), Hamburg, Germany

An Axion Like Particle (ALP) is a Dark Matter candidate, but its expected small mass makes it difficult to detect in resonance searches at the LHC. However, it is possible to search for ALPs as off-shell mediators in s-channel processes (Phys. Rev. Lett. 124, 051802 (2020)). We report results based on ATLAS measurements of differential cross-section of pp->Zγ and pp->WW production. This study leads to new constraints on the allowed parameter space in the context of an effective field theory model for ALPs with mass smaller than 100 GeV.
