The Any Light Particle Search II (ALPS II) is an experiment currently being built at DESY in Hamburg, Germany, that will use a light-shining-through-a-wall (LSW) approach to search for axion-like particles. ALPS represents significant step forward these types of experiments as it 24 superconducting dipole magnets, along with dual, high-finesse, 122 m long optical cavities. This paper gives the ...
