Description

The nature of the dark matter is still an unsolved mystery and its identification represent a big challenge for model builders and experimentalists. For many years the WIMP miracle has been considered the most promising solution among the Dark Matter candidates. Recently lower energy scales have attracted increasing interest. I will present the axion-like particle (ALP) as a possible candidate for a Portal to a Light Dark Sector, with particular attention to the phenomenology at low energy
electron positron colliders.
