  "abstract": "The feeble interactions of light axion-like particles (ALPs) render them long-lived. Probing long-lived ALPs therefore demands facilities with a macroscopic decay volume to match their potentially long decay lengths, such as high-intensity beam dump experiments. An optical dump setup was proposed by utilizing hard photons from the collision of a high-energy electron beam and a high-intensity laser pulse. In this work, we revisit the probe of long-lived ALPs with MeV$\\sim$ GeV mass via a laser-assisted optical dump. We consider the low-energy effective Lagrangian for ALPs incorporating the ALP-photon and ALP-fermion interactions. The scope of optical dump searches is extended to both the ALP-photon coupling induced Primakoff process and the Compton-like scattering via the ALP-electron coupling. We also investigate the correlation between Primakoff process and Compton scattering, and exhibit the interplay of two ALP couplings in light of optical dump experiment.",
