Description
One of the simplest Standard Model extensions consists in a `Hidden
Photon', coupled kinetically to the photon of the Standard Model.
Such a particle could also constitute the Dark Matter.
We highlight the most important theoretical
and phenomenological aspects of ultra-light Hidden Photons and
report on two upcoming experimental searches for such particles
at DESY Hamburg (ALPS-II) and the KIT in Karlsruhe (FUNK).
