The DAMIC experiment at SNOLAB uses thick, fully-depleted, scientific grade charge-coupled devices (CCDs) to search for the interactions between proposed dark matter particles in the galactic halo and the ordinary silicon atoms in the detector. DAMIC CCDs operate with an extremely low instrument noise and dark current, making them particularly sensitive to ionization signals expected from...

The existence of dark sectors is an exciting possibility to explain the origin of Dark Matter (DM). In particular, a class of phenomenological models assumes the existence of a vector portal, through which the dark sector and visible matter are related by a new force, in addition to gravity, transmitted by a light dark vector boson, $A'$ (dark photon). Within this class of models, DM interacts...

Axions are among the best motivated candidates for new physics. If the Peccei-Quinn symmetry associated with an axion has been ever restored after inflation, topological defects of the axion field (in particular strings) form and produce an irreducible contribution to the stochastic gravitational wave background during the evolution of the Universe. After reviewing recent progress in the...
