The 1 m prototype for the ’Any Light Particle Search’ experiment — •Kanioar Karan, Dennis Schmelzer, Li-Wei Wei, and Benno Willke — Max-Planck-Institut für Gravitationsphysik (Albert-Einstein-Institut)

Extensions of the Standard Model of particle physics predict a variety of new particles, among them so-called WISPs, or very Weakly Interacting Sub-eV Particles. The most famous WISP candidate is the axion.

The ALPS collaboration is setting up a light shining through a wall experiment (LSW) searching for WISPs. To boost the production and detection of those particle the collaboration is using optical cavities.

We set up a 1-m-prototype table-top experiment to test and develop subsystems for the finale ALPS IIc experiment. We will report on the status of this experiment.
