        „Exploring the Role of Axions and Other Ultralight Particles
                            in the Dark Universe"

Kivonatos ismertetés:
Many theoretically well-motivated extensions of the standard model of particle 
physics  predict the existence of very weakly interacting slim (in the sense 
of ultralight) particles (WISPs),  such as the axion. WISPs may constitute 
the mysterious dark matter in the universe and solve some puzzles in stellar 
and high-energy astrophysics. There are new, relatively small  experiments 
around the globe, which started to hunt for these elusive particles and 
complement the search for physics beyond the standard model at the Large 
Hadron Collider.
