Description
The microscopic nature of dark matter remains one of the major open mysteries in modern physics. Over the past decade, ultra-light dark matter (ULDM) candidates have attracted growing interest. In this talk, I will provide a brief overview of strategies aimed at the direct detection of ULDM. I will discuss the different signatures that ULDM may induce and highlight recent experimental results, both from laboratory setups and experiments in Earth’s orbit. Finally, I will outline possible directions for future efforts, ranging from new laboratory experiments to astronomical observations of our Galactic Center.
