| Below 80-90GeV, for a generic (pseudo-)scalar $\phi$ (light Higgs, radion, dilaton, axion, ALP's...), the decay $\phi$ → Z*Z is kinematically closed and $\phi$ → $\gamma\gamma$ becomes challenging to trigger on, so that the gluon-gluon Fusion mechanism to produce $\phi$ is not promising anymore (see for instance [[https://arxiv.org/abs/1607.08653|1607.08653]]). | Below 80-90GeV, for a generic (pseudo-)scalar $\phi$ (light Higgs, radion, dilaton, axion, ALP's...), the decay $\phi$ → Z*Z is kinematically closed and $\phi$ → $\gamma\gamma$ becomes challenging to trigger on, so that the gluon-gluon Fusion mechanism to produce $\phi$ is not promising anymore (see for instance [[https://arxiv.org/abs/1607.08653|1607.08653]]). | ||

| * Checking at an example point in the above scan, $M_{ALP} = 1.8$ GeV, $C_{\gamma\gamma}/\Lambda = 5.2$ TeV$^{-1}$, all other couplings set to zero. The $\phi$ decays 100% to $\gamma\gamma$ as expected (width $10^{-7}$ GeV). The main production mechanisms are $\gamma, W$ or $Z$ + $\phi$. $gg \rightarrow \phi$ is zero.

| General comment: If the particle is lighter than hadronic threshold ($m_a <3m_\pi<450\rm MeV$ for CP-odd scalar), the particle is easily long-lived in the reasonable parameter space. Many literature ignores loop-factor $16\pi^2$, which sometimes leads to less physical parameter space. A scale $\Lambda/C_{\gamma\gamma}=1\rm TeV$ in [[https://arxiv.org/abs/1708.00443|1708.00443]] parameterization corresponds to a scale $f_a =6\rm GeV$ in the decay constant (SSB scale).So ALP being invisible is quite possible with sub-GeV mass and $f_a >100\rm GeV$. Estimates with ALP as missing energy in [[https://arxiv.org/abs/1409.4792|1409.4792]] (mono-jet), [[https://arxiv.org/abs/1701.05379|1701.05379]] (mono-W, mono-Z, mono-Higgs) and [[https://arxiv.org/abs/1901.03061|1901.03061]]. | General comment: If the particle is lighter than hadronic threshold ($m_a <3m_\pi<450\rm MeV$ for CP-odd scalar), the particle is easily long-lived in the reasonable parameter space.

This has been cross-checked against the CMS limit tool for cut and counting experiment. But the present code can be extended to do a shape based limit. |
