  "abstract": "Limits on spin-0 axion-like-particles (ALPs) coupling to photons are reinterpreted as constraints on massive spin-2 graviton-like-particles (GLPs) with universal coupling $α_\\text{G}/M_\\text{P}$ (where $M_\\text{P}$ is the reduced Planck mass) to the Standard Model fields. A minimally model-dependent recasting is performed, exploiting the formally analogous production and detection mechanisms for both particle types, based on the Primakoff and Gertsenshtein effects, i.e., photon-axion/graviton conversion. Constraints originally derived in the ALP mass vs. photon-coupling plane ($m_\\text{a}, g_{\\text{a}γ}$) are translated into the corresponding bounds in the GLP ($m_\\text{G}, α_\\text{G}/M_\\text{P}$) parameter space over the full mass range, $m_\\text{a,G} \\approx 10^{-20}$--$10^{14}$eV probed in current and future experimental setups including cavity-based detectors (haloscopes and resonant upconversion devices), helioscopes, magnetometers, optical interferometers, beam dumps, fixed-target, and collider experiments, as well as astrophysical and cosmological constraints. Generic scenarios are considered in which GLPs are a dark matter candidate and not. Whereas current ALP searches do not set stronger bounds on massive spin-2 particles than fifth-force tests, future magnetometers, two-beam interferometers, and upconversion experiments have the potential to provide very strong sensitivity, down to $α_\\text{G}/M_\\text{P} \\approx 10^{-32} \\text{GeV}^{-1}$, for light graviton-like particles with $m_\\text{G}\\lesssim 10^{-8}$eV. These future detectors exhibit comparatively greater sensitivity to massive gravitons than to axions. For massive gravitons at the TeV scale, exclusive diphoton decay searches, employed in ALP studies, offer a complementary approach to standard searches for spin-2 resonances in other inclusive final states.",
