Abstract
Measurements of the top quark by the ATLAS and CMS experiments go beyond testing the Standard Model (SM) with high precision. Axion-like particles (ALPs), a potential SM extension involving new pseudoscalar particles, exhibit strong interactions with heavy SM fermions. Consequently, they can significantly affect the kinematic distributions of top quarks in top-antitop pair production. Moreover, such strong interactions can induce other ALP couplings at low energies, leading to a rich phenomenology. We summarize recent developments in probing the ALP-top coupling and use LHC data from run 2 to constrain the ALP parameter space.
