Description

I will introduce wavelike dark matter, with a particular emphasis on axions, axion-like particles and hidden photons. I will outline the primary search strategies (experimental, astrophysical and cosmological) and explore many of the recent developments in the experimental landscape. Finally, I will go through a pedagogical example of a new kind of experiment, with emphasis on the development process rather than physics.
