New Limits on Leptophilic Axionlike Particles and Majorons from ArgoNeuT

Abstract

Axionlike particles are among the most studied extensions of the standard model. In this Letter we study the bounds that the ArgoNeuT experiment can put on the parameter space of two specific scenarios: leptophilic axionlike particles and Majorons. We find that such bounds are currently the most constraining ones in the (0.2 - 1.7) GeV mass range.
