Description
ALPs that couple to gluons are predicted both to solve the strong CP problem as well as in composite Higgs models (Higgs pseudo-Goldstone partners) and in Supersymmetry (R-axion).
I will discuss unexplored avenues in the LHC phenomenology resulting from such gluon-ALP couplings. I will derive a new LHC bound on ALPs from diphoton cross-section measurements, and show it is the strongest existing limit in the mass window 10-65 GeV. I will then propose new ALP searches at ATLAS, CMS and the LHCb.
