TL;DR
This paper provides an update on the ALPS-II experiment at DESY, which aims to detect weakly interacting sub-eV particles beyond the Standard Model through photon oscillation experiments.
Contribution
It reports on the experimental progress and future plans of ALPS-II, including sensitivity to hidden photons and axion-like particles with new magnet installations.
Findings
Expected first data on hidden photon parameter space in 2014
Potential axion-like particle search with superconducting HERA magnets in 2017
Progress in experimental setup and sensitivity improvements
Abstract
This proceedings contribution gives a brief experimental update of the `Any light particle search (ALPS) -II' at DESY which will be sensitive to sub-eV, very weakly coupled particles beyond the Standard Model. First data on hidden sector photon parameter space through photon-hidden photon oscillations in vacuum is expected in 2014. Axion-like particle search (implying the installation of superconducting HERA magnets) could be realized in 2017.
