TL;DR
ALPS-II is a sophisticated experiment designed to detect weakly interacting sub-eV particles via photon oscillations, advancing the search for new physics beyond the Standard Model.
Contribution
This report details the technical design of the second stage of the ALPS-II experiment, a novel setup for light-shining-through-a-wall searches for new particles.
Findings
Design of the ALPS-II experimental setup completed
Expected sensitivity to weakly interacting particles improved
First phase approval obtained in 2013
Abstract
This document constitutes an excerpt of the Technical Design Report for the second stage of the "Any Light Particle Search" (ALPS-II) at DESY as submitted to the DESY PRC in August 2012 and reviewed in November 2012. ALPS-II is a "Light Shining through a Wall" experiment which searches for photon oscillations into weakly interacting sub-eV particles. These are often predicted by extensions of the Standard Model and motivated by astrophysical phenomena. The first phases of the ALPS-II project were approved by the DESY management on February 21st, 2013.
