Description
New particles in the ~ 1-100 GeV range that couple to gluons and photons are well motivated by frameworks addressing both the hierarchy problem and Dark Matter (e.g. the SUSY R-axion) and by "heavy axion" solutions to the strong CP problem. After reviewing these motivations, I will discuss how vast regions of parameter space are left unexplored by current collider searches. I will then present a program to experimentally probe these particles, that results in concrete proposals of new searches at ATLAS, CMS, LHCb and Belle-II.
