Description
Axion light particles are a well-motivated example of light, weakly coupled BSM states. I will investigate the constraints on such particles through their couplings to tau leptons. I will discuss situations where the ALPs are long lived and the best search strategy is through beam dumps (both past and future experiments) and the situation where the ALP decays promptly which can result in exotic multi-lepton final states at colliders -- many of which have not yet been searched for. Finally, I will discuss a situation where light dark matter can induce time-modulation in rare decays.
