Cosmology provides evidence that most of the mass of the observable universe cannot be associated with any of the known Standard-Model elementary particles. Evidence of this ‘dark matter' was also obtained in the recent data from space telescopes. Axions - hypothetical particles proposed to solve a strong CP problem in Quantum Chromodynamics - are dark matter candidates. Although they carry zero electric charge, they can be produced via Primakoff mechanism, resulting in predictable effects in the laboratory. We present first results from an ongoing LIPSS experiment to search for axion-like particles with Jefferson Lab's Free Electron Laser.
