DESCRIPTION:Speakers: Axel Lindner (DESY)\n\nAbstract: \nALPS II at DESY 
 in Hamburg searches for axions — hypothetical particles that could help 
 explain dark matter and other mysteries of modern physics. The experiment 
 uses the “light-shining-through-a-wall” technique: laser light is sent
  toward a light-tight barrier\, while strong magnetic fields may allow a t
 iny fraction of photons to convert into axions\, pass through the wall\, a
 nd reappear as light on the other side.In its first science run\, ALPS II 
 excluded photon–axion conversion probabilities down to the 1e-13 level\,
  improving the sensitivity to the axion–photon coupling strength by abou
 t a factor of 20 over previous experiments of this kind. The ongoing upgra
 de is expected to make ALPS II the first purely laboratory-based experimen
 t to probe beyond existing astrophysical limits on axions.After the search
  for new particles\, the ALPS II infrastructure will also be used to study
  the quantum vacuum through magnetic birefringence and\, ultimately\, to s
 earch for high-frequency gravitational waves.\n \nJoin Zoom Meetinghttps:
