description

The 95% CL upper limit on the ALP coupling $1/\Lambda_{a}$ for the $\gamma\gamma\rightarrow a \rightarrow \gamma\gamma$ process as a function of ALP mass m$_{a}$. The observed upper limit is shown as a solid black line and the expected upper limit is shown by the dashed black line with its $\pm1$ and $\pm2$ standard deviation bands. The discontinuity at $m_{a} = 70 GeV$ is caused by the increase of the mass-bin width which brings an increase in signal acceptance.
