Axion-like particles (ALPs) appear from spontaneous global symmetry
breaking in many extensions of the Standard Model (SM).
In this paper, we find bounds on ALP (a) model parameters at the LHC from
the ALP production associated with a photon and a jet (j+γ+a) as well as
single top and top quark pairs (t+j+a, t―t+a) in a model independent approach.
In particular, it is shown that the ALP production associated with a photon plus a jet at the LHC is a promising
channel with significant sensitivity to probe the ALP couplings to gluons and electroweak gauge bosons.
The prospects are presented at the High Luminosity LHC including a realistic detector simulation and pile up effects.
Furthermore, the ALP model is examined through its contributions to the top quark (chromo)magnetic dipole moments.
It is shown that the top quark magnetic and chromomagnetic dipole moments enable us to probe the ALP couplings to top
quark and gauge bosons at a time.
The constraints are complementary to those obtained from direct searches, as they are
sensitive to light ALPs.
