  • Employed two superconducting magnets generating a 3 T magnetic field.
  • Used a high quantum efficiency Germanium (Ge) detector to measure regenerated photons.

    • Main Results:

    • Measured a counting rate of regenerated photons consistent with zero.
    • Established new limits on the axionlike particle-two-photon coupling constant as a function of particle mass.
    • Demonstrated the capability to probe new energy ranges for axionlike particle detection.

    Conclusions:

    • The experiment did not detect axionlike particles within the explored parameter space.
    • The setup provides a new terrestrial method for axionlike particle searches.
    • This work opens new avenues for studying photon propagation in strong magnetic fields.
