Abstract

The Any Light Particle Search II (ALPS II) experiment (DESY, Hamburg) searches for photon oscillations into Weakly Interacting Sub-eV Particles (WISPs). This second generation of the ALPS light-shining-Through-A-wall (LSW) experiment approaches the finalization of the preparation phase before ALPS IIa (search for hidden photons). In the last years, efforts have been put for the setting up of two optical cavities as well as the characterization of a single-photon Transition-Edge Sensor (TES) detector. In the following, we put some emphasis on the detector development. In parallel, the setting up of ALPS IIc (search for axion-like particles), including the unbending of 20 HERA dipoles, has been pursued. The latest progress in these tasks will be discussed.
