Axion-like particles (ALPs) are good candidates for cold dark matter. They would form a galactic-scale classical field, which on local scales undergoes coherent oscillations. Through their coupling to gluons these particles would induce oscillating electric dipole moments (EDMs) in nucleons and atoms [1,2]. We analyse data of two neutron EDM experiments: ILL, Grenoble, France (1998-2002) and...

Presently a number of experiments are operating to search for the WIMP, a dark matter candidate. Among these experiments, DAMA/LIBRA claims to observe an annually modulated WIMP signal, while other experiments, using different technologies and target materials, exclude the DAMA/LIBRA signal region in the parameter space. The COSINE experiment aims at exploring these contradicting results by...

The sub-micron range in the field of short distance interactions has yet to be opened to experimental investigation, and may well hold the key to understanding al least part of the dark matter puzzle. The aKWISP (advanced-KWISP) project introduces the novel Double Membrane Interaction Monitor (DMIM), a combined source-sensing device where interaction distances can be as short as 100 nm or even...

The Axion-like particle search (ALPS) experiment at DESY plans to use a heterodyne detection scheme to detect the regenerated light field. The scheme takes advantage of the coherence between the original laser field and the regenerated laser field and is currently being developed at the University of Floria. I will discuss the current status of the experiments in Florida and how we plan to...

Terrestrial dark matter detection experiments are crucially dependent on an understanding of the phase space structure of the local Milky Way halo. As such, the uncertainties in the astrophysical ingredients to predictions for dark matter signals feed directly into all experimental results. The bright side however is that our experiments are in a unique position to study this same...
