abstract = {As the leading theory in particle physics, the Standard
Model (SM) defines our understanding of the subatomic world.
However, observed phenomena have proven that the SM, despite
its great success, is not complete yet and the search for
particles Beyond the Standard Model (BSM) has surged ever
since. In models that try to address the problems of the SM,
BSM long-lived particles (LLPs), which have longer lifetimes
than unstable SM particles, occur naturally. With a proposed
circular electron-positron collider, the FCC-ee, these BSM
LLPs could be discovered.This thesis focuses specifically on
the production and detection of long-lived axion-like
particles (ALPs), which are well-motivated BSM particles and
also possible dark matter candidates. Utilizing the e+e−
→ Z → aγ → γγγ channel, which only depends on the
ALP-photon coupling cγγ under certain assumptions, the
sensitivity of the FCC-ee to detect ALPs is examined.
Employing the analysis framework of the Future Circular
Collider (FCC), the simulation and analysis of events for
ALP production were conducted, testing coupling constants
ranging from 10−6 to 1.6 and ALP masses between 0.01 GeV
and 30 GeV. Finally, the sensitivity of the FCC-ee to a
long-lived ALP signature is studied for various settings of
the ALP parameters.},
