Recent estimates on the mass of the Milky Way, the Andromeda galaxy, and their satellite systems have given considerably smaller total masses than has been anticipated some 15 years ago. This trend was impressively confirmed by the first results of the Gaia mission. I give an overview of the various mass estimates, discuss possible shortcomings of the employed methods, and draw implications...

LUX-ZEPLIN (LZ) is a second-generation dark matter direct detection experiment currently under construction at the 4850’-level of the Sanford Underground Research Facility (SURF) in Lead, South Dakota, USA. The experiment utilizes a dual-phase time projection chamber (TPC), containing seven active tons of purified liquid xenon, to search for potential signals from weakly interacting massive...

The haloscope is one of the most sensitive approaches to the QCD axion physics within the region where the axion is considered as a dark matter candidate. However, the current experimental sensitivities, relying on the lowest fundamental TM010 mode of a cylindrical cavity, is limited to relatively low mass regions. Exploiting higher-order resonant modes would be beneficial because it enables...

We are going to discuss the physics reach and the experimental challenges of directional WIMP-like Dark Matter searches, illustrating the concept of the CYGNUS-TPC international collaboration and how the CYGNO effort fits into it. We are going to present the latest R&D results in the field and discuss future short and long term developments of such techniques, also in the context of solar...
