Description

In recent years, ultralight dark matter models have gained significant attention as a novel paradigm in dark matter research. These models produce signals distinct from the conventional WIMP dark matter, prompting the development of unconventional detection methods. In this talk, I will review several proposed and ongoing searches, with a particular focus on research conducted in Japan. Additionally, I will discuss the theoretical challenges that arise in these approaches, highlighting areas that require further exploration.
