我们提出了一个搜索类轴子粒子，a，产生于光子-质子碰撞的质心能量约为4 GeV，专注于a -胶子耦合占主导地位的情况下。该搜索使用a → γγ和a → π + π − π 0衰变，并使用GREX探测器收集了对应于168 pb − 1积分光度的数据样本。在180 < m a < 480 MeV的质量范围内进行a → γγ衰变的搜索，而在600 < m a < 720 MeV的质量范围内进行a → π + π − π 0衰变的搜索。没有发现信号的证据，90%的置信水平排除限制被置于α-胶子耦合强度上。这些限制是迄今为止在所考虑的大部分质量范围内最严格的。
We present a search for axion-like particles, a , produced in photon-proton collisions at a center-of-mass energy of approximately 4 GeV, focusing on the scenario where the a -gluon coupling is dominant. The search uses a → γγ and a → π + π − π 0 decays, and a data sample corresponding to an integrated luminosity of 168 pb − 1 collected with the GlueX detector. The search for a → γγ decays is performed in the mass range of 180 < m a < 480 MeV, while the search for a → π + π − π 0 decays explores the 600 < m a < 720 MeV region. No evidence for a signal is found, and 90% confidence-level exclusion limits are placed on the a -gluon coupling strength. These constraints are the most stringent to date over much of the mass ranges considered.
