Constraints on axionlike particles from a combined analysis of three flaring Fermi flat-spectrum radio quasars

Abstract:

Many theories beyond the Standard Model of particle physics predict the existence of axionlike particles (ALPs) that mix with photons in the presence of a magnetic field. Searching for the effects of ALP-photon mixing in gamma-ray observations of blazars has provided some of the strongest constraints on ALP parameter space so far. Previously, only individual sources have been analyzed. We perform a combined analysis on Fermi Large Area Telescope data of three bright flaring flat-spectrum radio quasars, with the blazar jets themselves as the dominant mixing region. For the first time, we include a full treatment of photon-photon dispersion within the jet and account for the uncertainty in our B-field model by leaving the field strength free in the fitting. Overall, we find no evidence for ALPs but are able to exclude the ALP parameters 5 neV≲ma≲200 neV and gaγ≳5×10-12 GeV-1 with 95% confidence.
