Hidden Sectors and More @ Low Energies
Dr. Jörg Jäckel (Dept. of Physics, Durham University (UK))

Particle physics is often associated with huge experiments like the LHC which explore the high energy frontier.
However, small scale, low energy but high precision experiments can provide a wealth of complementary information on the fundamental laws of nature.
Indeed, a variety of low energy experiments have discovery potential for new light, 'hidden' particles with extremely weak interactions.
Examples for these particles are axions, axion-like particles, hidden sector photons and minicharged particles.
In this talk we will look both at the motivation for such particles as well as possible ways to detect them.
