Description
I will present some preliminary results from our study on Axion-Like Particles (ALPs) production from electromagnetic showers in beam dump experiments, focusing on SHiP as a relevant benchmark example. Existing projections for SHiP’s sensitivity to ALPs have focused on production from either the primary photon beam or the (high-energy) photons produced by π0 → γγ. In this work, we study the subsequent production of axions from the full electromagnetic shower initiated by each of these photons.
