Abstract

A search for axion-like particles was performed at the 400 GeV proton beam-dump experiment at CERN. Exploring an empty decay region of 35 m length and 9 m 2 cross section, we searched for decays of neutral and penetrating scalar particles into a pair of photons, electrons or muons. No evidence for the existence for such particles was found in this experiment. Limits are quoted as a function of the mass and of the model independent decay constant of axions.
