  Axion-like particles (ALPs) are predicted by many extensions of the Standard
Model (SM). When ALP mass lies in the range of MeV to GeV, the cosmology and
astrophysics will be largely irrelevant. In this work, we investigate such
light ALPs through the ALP-strahlung process $pp \to V a (\to \gamma\gamma)$ at
the LHC. With the photon-jet algorithm, we demonstrate that our approach can
extend the LHC sensitivity and improve the existing limits on ALP-photon
coulping in the ALP mass range from 0.3 GeV to 10 GeV at the 14 TeV LHC with an
integrated luminosity of 3000 fb$^{-1}$.
