Constraint on axion-like particles from atomic physics

TL;DR

This paper explores how precision atomic physics experiments can be used to set constraints on axion-like particles, which are candidates for dark matter and extensions of the Standard Model.

Contribution

It introduces a novel approach to constrain axion-like particles using atomic physics measurements, expanding the methods beyond traditional astrophysical and collider searches.

Findings

Derived new bounds on axion-like particle properties from atomic physics data

Demonstrated the sensitivity of atomic experiments to axion-induced effects

Compared atomic physics constraints with existing limits from other methods

Abstract

A possibility to constrain axion-like particles from precision atomic physics is considered.
