ALPSII Status Report

Understand

ALPS II is a light shining through a wall style experiment that will use optical cavities to resonantly enhance the coupling between photons and axion-like particles in the mass range below 0.1 meV.

• In the last year there has been significant experimental progress in the development of the optical system and the single photon detection schemes, as well as progress related to the preparation of the magnets and the on site infrastructure.
