Description
The results of the monojet search using $36.1~\rm{fb}^{-1}$ of $\sqrt{s} = 13~\rm{TeV}$ data from the ATLAS detector are reinterpreted in the context of a search for the associate production of an axion-like CP-odd boson and a gluon. Such processes are predicted by models addressing the strong CP problem of QCD [1], leading to a variety of signatures which depend on the assumed couplings of the axion-like particle to Standard Model particles.
Masses for the axion-like particle in the range 10 keV and 1 GeV and a coupling strength to gluons between $1.2*10^{-5}$ and $1.2*10^{-3}$ are considered. The results are expressed in terms of $95\%$ confidence level exclusion limits in the mass-coupling plane.
