Description
The proposed LUXE experiment (LASER Und XFEL Experiment) at DESY, Hamburg, using the electron beam from the European XFEL, aims to probe QED in the non-perturbative regime created in collisions between high-intensity laser pulses and high-energy electron or photon beams. This setup also provides a unique opportunity to probe physics beyond the standard model. In this talk we show that by leveraging the large photon flux generated at LUXE, and by optimising the design setup to obtain a background-free experiment, one can probe axion-like-particles (ALPs) for masses around ~ 200 MeV and with photon couplings in the region of $10^{-5}~ \text{GeV}^{-1}$. This parameter space is yet unexplored by running experiments.
