Description
In this talk I will consider the possibility that the dark matter interacts with the Standard Model (SM) through a feeble long range force $\phi$. This scenario has potentially interesting effects on the SM physics, depending on the radius and on the strength of the interaction. I will review some of these effect, concentrating in particular on the possibility that $\phi$ directly affects the measured value of the fine structure constant.
