  We propose a novel way to search for axion(-like) particles in heavy-ion
collisions using prompt photons as the probe and the property of conversion
between photon and axion(-like) particles under a strong magnetic field
generated in the non-central collisions. The expected result reveals that a new
phase space region of the coupling constant for photon and axion(-like)
particles can be covered in the future high energy nuclear colliders.
