Description

The COST Action: "Cosmic WISPers in the Dark Universe: Theory, Astrophysics and Experiments" (https://www.cost.eu/actions/CA21106/) officially started on November 1st 2022. The aim of this Action is to coordinate and support WISPs searches (on axions, dark photons, etc.) in a synergic way at the boundary between particle physics, astrophysics and cosmology.
We introduce the Action physics cases and the five Working Groups which have been created: WG1 WISPs Model Building, WG2 WISPs Dark Matter and Cosmology, WG3 WISPs in Astrophysics, WG4 Direct WISPs searches and WG5 Dissemination and Outreach. We present activities that we have introduced, from the one at the level of single working groups to schools and workshops open to a large audience.
A link to the CA21106 webpage and information for registration will be given on the poster. CA21106 welcome all scientists interested in topics related to WISPs!
