We present the improved constraints on couplings of solar axions and more generic bosonic dark matter particles using 737.1 kg-days of data from the CDEX-1B experiment. The CDEX-1B experiment, located at the China Jinping Underground Laboratory, primarily aims at the direct detection of weakly interacting massive particles using a p-type point-contact germanium detector. We adopt the profile likelihood ratio method for analysis of data in the presence of backgrounds. An energy threshold of 160 eV was achieved, much better than the 475 eV of CDEX-1A with an exposure of 335.6 kg-days. This significantly improves the sensitivity for the bosonic dark matter below 0.8 keV among germanium detectors. Limits are also placed on the coupling $g_{Ae} < 2.48 times 10^{-11}$ from Compton, bremsstrahlung, atomic-recombination and de-excitation channels and $g^{eff}_{AN} times g_{Ae} < 4.14 times 10^{-17}$ from a $^{57}$Fe M1 transition at 90% confidence level.

We report results on the searches of weakly interacting massive particles (WIMPs) with sub-GeV masses ($m_{chi}$) via WIMP-nucleus spin-independent scattering with Migdal effect incorporated. Analysis on time-integrated (TI) and annual modulation (AM ) effects on CDEX-1B data are performed, with 737.1 kg$cdot$day exposure and 160 eVee threshold for TI analysis, and 1107.5 kg$cdot$day exposure and 250 eVee threshold for AM analysis. The sensitive windows in $m_{chi}$ are expanded by an order of magnitude to lower DM masses with Migdal effect incorporated. New limits on $sigma_{chi N}^{rm SI}$ at 90% confidence level are derived as $2times$10$^{-32}sim7times$10$^{-35}$ $rm cm^2$ for TI analysis at $m_{chi}sim$ 50$-$180 MeV/$c^2$, and $3times$10$^{-32}sim9times$10$^{-38}$ $rm cm^2$ for AM analysis at $m_{chi}sim$75 MeV/$c^2-$3.0 GeV/$c^2$.
A search for millicharged particles, a simple extension of the standard model, has been performed with the ArgoNeuT detector exposed to the Neutrinos at the Main Injector beam at Fermilab. The ArgoNeuT Liquid Argon Time Projection Chamber detector en ables a search for millicharged particles through the detection of visible electron recoils. We search for an event signature with two soft hits (MeV-scale energy depositions) aligned with the upstream target. For an exposure of the detector of $1.0$ $times$ $10^{20}$ protons on target, one candidate event has been observed, compatible with the expected background. This search is sensitive to millicharged particles with charges between $10^{-3}e$ and $10^{-1}e$ and with masses in the range from $0.1$ GeV to $3$ GeV. This measurement provides leading constraints on millicharged particles in this large unexplored parameter space region.

We report the results of searches for solar axions and galactic dark matter axions or axion-like particles with CDEX-1 experiment at the China Jinping Underground Laboratory, using 335.6 kg-days of data from a p-type point-contact germanium detector. The data are compatible with the background model and no excess signals are observed. Limits of solar axions on the model independent coupling $g_{Ae}<2.5times10^{-11}$ from Compton, bremsstrahlung, atomic-recombination and deexcitation channel and $g^{text{eff}}_{AN}times g_{Ae}<6.1times10^{-17}$ from $^{57}$Fe M1 transition at 90 % confidence level are derived. Within the framework of the DFSZ and KSVZ models, our results exclude the axion mass heavier than 0.9 eV/c$^{2}$ and 173 eV/c$^{2}$, respectively. The derived constraints for dark matter axions below 1 keV improves over the previous results.

We report constraints on the dark photon effective kinetic mixing parameter (${kappa}$) with data taken from two ${p}$-type point-contact germanium detectors of the CDEX-10 experiment at the China Jinping Underground Laboratory. The 90% confidence le vel upper limits on ${kappa}$ of solar dark photon from 205.4 kg-day exposure are derived, probing new parameter space with masses (${m_V}$) from 10 to 300 eV/${c^2}$ in direct detection experiments. Considering dark photon as the cosmological dark matter, limits at 90% confidence level with ${m_V}$ from 0.1 to 4.0 keV/${c^2}$ are set from 449.6 kg-day data, with a minimum of ${rm{kappa=1.3 times 10^{-15}}}$ at ${rm{m_V=200 eV/c^2}}$.
We propose using the storage ring EDM method to search for the axion dark matter induced EDM oscillation in nucleons. The method uses a combination of B and E-fields to produce a resonance between the $g-2$ spin precession frequency and the backgroun d axion field oscillation to greatly enhance sensitivity to it. An axion frequency range from $10^{-9}$ Hz to 100 MHz can in principle be scanned with high sensitivity, corresponding to an $f_a$ range of $10^{13} $ GeV $leq f_a leq 10^{30}$ GeV, the breakdown scale of the global symmetry generating the axion or axion like particles (ALPs).
