Description
The Electron-Ion Collider (EIC) will have the capability to collide various particle beams with large luminosities in a relatively clean environment, surrounded by a large angular coverage detector. Our analysis focuses on the EIC’s sensitivity to Axion-like particles (ALPs) that are created via photon fusion and promptly decay to photons. We explore this predominantly through coherent electron-ion scattering in the 0.1-50 GeV ALP mass range, which has the potential to extend reach to untouched ALP-photon coupling parameter space.
