We search for hidden-photon cold dark matter (HP-CDM) using a spectroscopic system in a K-band frequency range. Our system comprises a planar metal plate and cryogenic receiver. This is the first time a cryogenic receiver has been used in the search for HP-CDM. Such use helps reduce thermal noise. We recorded data for 9.3 hours using an effective aperture area of 14.8 cm$^2$. No signal was found in the data. We set upper limits for the parameter of mixing between the photon and HP-CDM in the mass range from 115.79 to 115.85 $mu$eV, $chi < 1.8$-$4.3 times 10^{-10}$, at a 95% confidence level. This is the most stringent upper limit obtained to date in the considered mass range.

We report on the first results from a new dish antenna search for hidden photon dark matter (HPDM) in the meV mass region. A double mirror system composed of a plane and a parabolic mirror is designed to convert HPDMs into photons focused on a receiv er. In this phase 1 experiment we obtain an upper limit on the photon-HP kinetic mixing $chi lesssim 10^{-8}$ for the mass range of $0.67-0.92,{rm meV}$ using conventional mm-wave technology with a room-temperature receiver and a small-sized mirror system.
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).
It has been proposed that an additional U(1) sector of hidden photons could account for the Dark Matter observed in the Universe. When passing through an interface of materials with different dielectric properties, hidden photons can give rise to pho tons whose wavelengths are related to the mass of the hidden photons. In this contribution we report on measurements covering the visible and near-UV spectrum that were done with a large, 14 m2 spherical metallic mirror and discuss future dark-matter searches in the eV and sub-eV range by application of different electromagnetic radiation detectors.
We report on a search for hidden photon cold dark matter (HP CDM) using a novel technique with a dish antenna. We constructed two independent apparatus: one is aiming at the detection of the HP with a mass of $sim,rm{eV}$ which employs optical instru ments, and the other is for a mass of $sim5times10^{-5}, rm{eV}$ utilizing a commercially available parabolic antenna facing on a plane reflector. From the result of the measurements, we found no evidence for the existence of HP CDM and set upper limits on the photon-HP mixing parameter $chi$.
Many extensions of the Standard Model of particle physics predict a parallel sector of a new U(1) symmetry, giving rise to hidden photons. These hidden photons are candidate particles for cold dark matter. They are expected to kinetically mix with re gular photons, which leads to a tiny oscillating electric-field component accompanying dark matter particles. A conducting surface can convert such dark matter particles into photons which are emitted almost perpendicularly to the surface. The corresponding photon frequency follows from the mass of the hidden photons. In this contribution we present a preliminary result on a hidden photon search in the visible and near-UV wavelength range that was done with a large, 14 m2 spherical metallic mirror and discuss future dark matter searches in the eV and sub-eV range by application of different detectors for electromagnetic radiation.
