Relaxion and light (pseudo)scalars at the HL-LHC and lepton colliders

Abstract

We study the potential of future lepton colliders, running at the Z-pole and above, and the High-Luminosity LHC to search for the relaxion and other light scalars $\varphi$. We investigate the interplay of direct searches and precision observables for both CP-even and -odd couplings. In particular, precision measurements of exotic Z-decays, Higgs couplings, the exotic Higgs decay into a relaxion pair and associated $Z\varphi$ and $\gamma \varphi$ production are promising channels to yield strong bounds.
