Description
abstract: Very light bosons, produced non-thermally in the early Universe are an intriguing possibility for the cold dark matter of the Universe.
Particularly interesting candidates are axions, axion-like particles and hidden photons. This talk will discuss the current status of such light dark matter with a particular emphasis
towards opportunities for its detection.
