Description
The ALPS-II experiment at DESY combines expertise from cw-laser
precision setups with low-flux photon detectors
and high-field superconducting magnets to search for low-mass,
weakly-interacting particles (WISPs) such as axion-like particles. After a brief introduction to the scientific goals of the three ALPS-II
stages, I will review the crucial components of the setup,
and comment on alternative search mechanisms for WISPs.
