COSINE-100 is a direct dark matter detection experiment using ~106 kg of low-background NaI(Tl) detectors submerged in a veto counter consisting of 2 tons of liquid scintillator to test the DAMA/LIBRA’s claim of dark matter observation. The physics run of the experiment began in September 2016 with an average background rate of 3.5 counts/keV/kg/day in the energy region between 2–6 keVee. We...

NA64 is a fixed target experiment at the CERN SPS aiming at a sensitive search for hidden
sectors. In this talk, we will present our latest results on the search
for a new sub-GeV vector gauge boson (A′) mediated dark matter (χ)
production. The A′, called dark photon, could be generated in the
reaction e−Z→e−ZA′ of 100 GeV electrons dumped against an active target
which is followed by the...

With direct searches getting closer and closer to the neutrino floor, the classical WIMP remains as elusive as ever. The low hanging WIMP fruit will eventually be exhausted as the remaining parameter space is excluded. The need for expanding our sensitivity to lower masses is evident. I will present a novel technique for direct detection by measuring defects in crystals with high sensitivity....

The Any Light Particle Search II (ALPS II) experiment at DESY will look for axion-like particles (ALPs) with low masses ($m<10^{-4}$ eV). ALPS II is a purely laboratory-based experiment, where ALPs could be produced and detected employing the light-shining-through-wall (LSW) technique using infrared photons with a wavelength of 1064 nm. ALPS II utilizes the concept of resonant enhancement on...

The CERN axion solar telescope (CAST) is well known for its searches of axions coming from the sun using different types of X-ray detectors. However, in recent years the CAST Collaboration has shifted its focus from solar axions to relic axions with two conceptually new detectors:
The Relic Axions Detector Exploratory Setup (RADES) which is based on a microwave filters and tunable microwave...

We develop a formalism to help calculate in quantum field theory the departures from the description of a system by classical field equations. We apply the formalism to a homogeneous classical field with attractive contact interactions, to a homogeneous self-gravitating classical field in critical expansion and to an inhomogeneous classical field with repulsive contact interactions.
We show...
