Scientifist search a new particle, the axion, to explain the dark matter. That is the title of the press release that has appeared today in the news section of the Centro Nacional de Física de Partículas (CPAN). The text describes (in spanish) the motivation to search for axions, the CAST experiment, and the involvement of our group in the experiment. The article appears on occasion of our recent publication in Physcal Review Letters of the first results of the He-3 phase of CAST. The article devotes some words on the important detector R&D on Micromegas, funded by the ERC (T-REX project) and the project for a future new generation axion helioscope IAXO.
