Search for Axionlike Particles Produced in Collisions at Belle II
Abstract
We present a search for the direct production of a light pseudoscalar a decaying into two photons with the Belle II detector at the SuperKEKB collider. We search for the process eþe- → γa, a → γγ in the mass range 0.2 < ma < 9.7 GeV=c2 using data corresponding to an integrated luminosity of ð445 3Þ pb-1. Light pseudoscalars interacting predominantly with standard model gauge bosons (so-called axionlike particles or ALPs) are frequently postulated in extensions of the standard model. We find no evidence for ALPs and set 95% confidence level upper limits on the coupling strength gaγγ of ALPs to photons at the level of 10-3 GeV-1. The limits are the most restrictive to date for 0.2 < ma < 1 GeV=c2 .

abstractNote = {We present a search for the direct production of a light pseudoscalar a decaying into two photons with the Belle II detector at the SuperKEKB collider. We search for the process eþe- → γa, a → γγ in the mass range 0.2 < ma < 9.7 GeV=c2 using data corresponding to an integrated luminosity of ð445 3Þ pb-1. Light pseudoscalars interacting predominantly with standard model gauge bosons (so-called axionlike particles or ALPs) are frequently postulated in extensions of the standard model. We find no evidence for ALPs and set 95% confidence level upper limits on the coupling strength gaγγ of ALPs to photons at the level of 10-3 GeV-1. The limits are the most restrictive to date for 0.2 < ma < 1 GeV=c2 .},
