SUMMARY:Nonlinear plasma waves as sources of axion-like particles - Adam N

DESCRIPTION:Many well-motivated extensions of the Standard Model of partic
 le physics predict a\nrange of light (pseudo-)scalar particles\, commonly 
 known as axion-like particles\n(ALPs) which could be viable candidates for
  dark matter. Although most efforts to\nobserve ALPs concentrate on astrop
 hysical sources\, there is growing interest in\nlaboratory-based searches.
  The low mass and weak coupling of such particles makes\nthem unsuitable f
 or detection in traditional accelerator-collider experiments\, but\nideal 
 for production in the strong fields supported in plasma waves. By analysin
 g\nthe ALP-plasma system\, we find that currently available plasma acceler
 ators could\nproduce an ALP flux density comparable to that of solar ALPs 
 at Earth’s surface.\n
