Pseudoscalar QCD axions and axion-like Particles (ALPs) are an excellent candidate for Dark Matter or can act as a mediator particle for Dark Matter.
A look at the allowed axion/ALP parameter space makes it clear that these might exist at low mass (below few eV), as (part of) Dark Matter. Alternatively they might exist at higher mass, above roughly the MeV scale, potentially as a Dark Matter mediator particle.
In this talk I will present two very different CERN experiments that have an ongoing search program for low-and high-mass axions and ALPs, describe their reach and put them into context of global efforts for searches for new pseudoscalars.
