DESCRIPTION:Axions and axion-like particles (ALPs) are hypothetical\, low-
 massparticles predicted by extensions of the Standard Model of particlephy
 sics. Initially proposed to address the strong charge-parity (CP)problem i
 n Quantum Chromodynamics\, axions have become prominent darkmatter candida
 tes\, while ALPs arise naturally in various beyond-StandardModel framework
 s\, including string theory. Their extremely weakcouplings to ordinary mat
 ter render them elusive\, yet they remaincentral to advancing our understa
 nding of the universe’s fundamentalstructure.Experimental efforts to det
 ect axions and ALPs encompass a broad arrayof techniques\, including halos
 copes\, helioscopes\, laboratory-basedexperiments\, as well as indirect co
 nstraints from astrophysical andcosmological observations. These searches 
 exploit state-of-the-artdevelopments in resonant cavities\, high-field mag
 nets\, andhigh-intensity lasers to explore previously inaccessible paramet
 erregions. The ongoing quest for axions and ALPs is not only a test oftheo
 retical models but a potential gateway to groundbreaking discoveriesin phy
 sics.This talk will provide an overview of the current experimentallandsca
 pe\, describe the principal detection methods\, summarize recentfindings\,
  and outline future directions in the search for axions andALPs." \n\nhtt
