CRESST-III (Cryogenic Rare Event Search with Superconducting Thermometers), installed at Laboratori Nazionali del Gran Sasso, is looking to directly detect dark matter particles scattering off CaWO$_4$ target nuclei in cryogenic detectors. Thanks to its energy threshold O(30 eV), CRESST-III is particularly suitable in probing sub-GeV DM masses. This contribution presents an overview of...

The PandaX-4T experiment, a multi-tonne liquid xenon time projection chamber at the China Jinping Underground Laboratory, searches for dark matter through WIMP-induced nuclear recoils. In this talk, We will present the latest WIMP search results using the full-exposure data set of PandaX-4T. With improved signal reconstruction, detector calibration, and background modeling, new constraints on...

Spin-based searches for new fundamental particles and fields use spin ensembles as transducers that are sensitive to spin interactions with fields beyond the standard model. The Cosmic Axion Spin Precession Experiment (CASPEr) is one example. For such searches, the standard quantum limit on sensitivity scales with the inverse square root of the number of spins. Consequently, increasing the...

The QUAX (QUaerere AXion) experiment searches for axion dark matter in the 35–45 μeV mass range (8.5–11 GHz) using two complementary cavity haloscopes covering distinct mass regions, located at INFN laboratories in Legnaro and Frascati. This talk will mostly present the results and status of the LNL haloscope, which has already reached near-KSVZ sensitivity above 40 μeV [1]. This is based on a...

Cavity-based searches for wave-like dark matter require microwave resonators combining high quality factors to enhance sensitivity with wide frequency tunability to probe the largest possible range of candidate particle masses. This is particularly important at high frequencies, where the parameter space is largely unexplored due to the poor scaling of the expected signal with the cavity...

Hypothetical light scalar particles trigger the superradiant instability around spinning black holes (BHs), causing clouds of scalars to grow around the BH. In the presence of sufficiently strong particle self-interactions (characterized by the decay constant $f$), scalars are ejected from BH orbits, resulting in coherent, non-relativistic emissions that continuously carry away the BH's...

Axion relic pockets (ARPs) can form in cosmic phase transitions and comprise all of dark matter. The pocket interiors are filled by the false vacuum phase, stabilised against collapse by a hot, kinematically trapped axion gas: ARPs are balloons filled with relativistic axions. I will review the theory and phenomenology of ARPs, and report on recent progress in understanding their formation and...

The axion, first proposed to resolve the unobserved-yet-expected CP violation in QCD, is an excellent candidate for wave-like dark matter. The most successful experimental technique to search for galactic axions thus far, the cavity haloscope, is limited in both scan speed and accessible axion mass range (or frequency range), particularly above 1.5 GHz. Next generation axion haloscopes will...

PandaX-4T is a multi-tonne liquid-xenon experiment searching for rare low-energy interactions, operating with a 3.7-tonne active target at the China Jinping Underground Laboratory (2400 m.w.e. overburden). In 2024, PandaX-4T reported the first indication of coherent elastic neutrino–nucleus scattering (CE𝜈NS) from solar B8 neutrinos using combined Run0 and Run1 data, with a significance of...

PandaX is a series of liquid xenon experiments at the China Jinping Underground Laboratory. Following the successful operation of PandaX-4T, the collaboration is now advancing toward the next-generation PandaX-20T experiment, with a substantially enlarged target mass and further improvements in detector performance and background control.
PandaX-20T will introduce major upgrades in key...
