Probing keV mass QCD axions with the SACLA X-ray free electron laser

Charles Heaton, Jack W. D. Halliday, Taito Osaka +12

Axions are hypothetical particles, proposed to account for the invariance of CP symmetry in quantum chromodynamics. While axions and axion-like-particles are well-motivated by stri…

Laboratory observation of collective beam-plasma instabilities in a relativistic pair jet

J W D Halliday, C D Arrowsmith, A M Goillot +37

We report on a measurement of collective behavior in a relativistic electron-positron pair plasma produced in the laboratory. Using the Fireball platform at CERN's HiRadMat facilit…

Suppression of pair beam instabilities in a laboratory analogue of blazar pair cascades

Charles D. Arrowsmith, Francesco Miniati, Pablo J. Bilbao +28

The generation of dense electron-positron pair beams in the laboratory can enable direct tests of theoretical models of -ray bursts and active galactic nuclei. We have successfu…

Bounds on heavy axions with an X-ray free electron laser

Jack W. D. Halliday, Giacomo Marocco, Konstantin A. Beyer +18

We present new exclusion bounds obtained at the European X-ray Free Electron Laser facility (EuXFEL) on axion-like particles (ALPs) in the mass range 10^{-3} eV < m_a < 10^4 eV. Ou…

Laboratory realization of relativistic pair-plasma beams

C. D. Arrowsmith, P. Simon, P. Bilbao +26

Relativistic electron-positron plasmas are ubiquitous in extreme astrophysical environments such as black holes and neutron star magnetospheres, where accretion-powered jets and pu…
