Details
The proposed Laser Und XFEL (LUXE) Experiment at DESY, Hamburg,
aims to probe QED in the strong field non-perturbative regime. This regime
will be created in collisions between high-intensity laser pulses and
high-energy electron or photon beams from the Eu.XFEL setup. This
experiment offers a unique opportunity to probe physics beyond the
standard model. In this talk, it is described that with the help of the
large photon flux generated at LUXE, axion-like particles can be probed up
to a mass of 350 MeV and with a photon coupling of 3 × 10^{-6} GeV^{-1}.
This reach in parameter space is comparable to the projected reach of
future experiments like FASER2 in the HL-LHC and NA62 in the dump mode.
