Description

Dark matter (DM) constitutes 26.8% of the entire universe and is one of the most significant mysteries in modern physics. The study of its particle properties is a critical and forefront topic in particle physics and cosmology, unlocking a deeper understanding of the universe and establishing the inherent unity of science.Ultralight dark matter could address small-scale structure problems of the universe, which becomes more and more interesting. So, determining the mass and interaction of such particles remains a formidable challenge. Bosonic particles, such as dark photons and axions, correspond to vector and scalar bosons, respectively, and represent the only option for ultralight DM (≪eV). They offer the most promising avenue of exploration due to their strong theoretical motivations. Also based on the wave-like property of ultralight DM, it can be detected via different kinds of experiments all over the world.
