Description

Part of the community has intensively searched for ALP signals, as well as conducted dedicated data analyses to identify potential evidence of New Physics compatible with an ALP, resulting in constraints on the ALP parameter space. Therefore, it is now the time to present a tool, ALPaca, that facilitates the combination among the different information on ALP physics.
The focus of this talk will be on a phenomenological analysis of the ALP theory using the most up-to-date data from flavour facilities, to show both the latest constraints and the potential of ALPaca to study the interplay between flavour and ALP physics.
