Abstract: Prompted by the increasing interest of axion-like particles (ALPs) for very-high-energy (VHE) astrophysics, we have considered a full scenario for the propagation of a VHE photon/ALP beam emitted by a BL Lac and reaching us… read more here.

Abstract: Very-high-energy (VHE) BL Lac spectra extending above $10 \, \rm TeV$ provide a unique opportunity for testing physics beyond the standard model of elementary particle and alternative blazar emission models. We consider the hadron beam,… read more here.
