“…While the first term is governed by the microscopic nature of ALP, there are several magnetic field realizations in the universe. Therefore, one needs to consider all different magnetic field environments in the path, from the source to the detector: photon-ALP mixing can be assumed in the magnetic field at the source, in the local environment around the source, in the intergalactic magnetic field and, finally, in the galactic magnetic field [29]. Depending on the observed source, different combinations of magnetic fields can be considered, and as reported by Sikivie [13], there are clearly several ways this problem can be approached.…”
