CRESST is a multi-stage experiment directly searching for dark matter (DM) using
cryogenic $\mathrm{CaWO_4}$ crystals. Previous stages established leading limits
for the spin-independent DM-nucleon cross section down to DM-particle masses
below $1\,\mathrm{GeV/c^2}$. Furthermore, CRESST performed a dedicated search
for dark photons (DP) which excludes new parameter space
between DP...

Halo-independent methods in the analysis of WIMP detection data have up to now provided separate constraints for specific integrals of the WIMP velocity distribution, and have assumed separate velocity distributions for the modulated and unmodulated rates. This has hindered the statistical interpretation of the results and has restricted the analysis to the comparison of experiments. I have...

Fixed target experiments are a particularly useful tool in the search of very weakly coupled particles in the MeV-GeV range, which are of interest, e.g. as Dark Matter mediators. The NA62 experiment at the CERN SPS is currently taking data to measure the rare decay K->pi \nu \bar{\nu}. Owing to the high beam-energy and a hermetic detector coverage, NA62 also has the opportunity to directly...

Exotic spin dependent interactions can be meditated by ALPs(Axion Like Particle). Not only ALPs are possible candidates for dark matter, but also they might provide the most promising solution to the strong CP problem. Furthermore, recently, various models of new physics beyond the standard model have been studies in which new massive particles such as axion, familon, and majoron, etc. were...

Axion-like particles (ALPs) can induce localised oscillatory modulations in the spectra of photon sources passing through astrophysical magnetic fields. Ultra-deep \emph{Chandra} observations of the Perseus cluster contain over $5 \times 10^5$ counts from the central NGC1275 AGN, and represent an extraordinary dataset for ALP searches. In this talk I will describe how we used these to search...
