Abstract: We present a search for a new scalar particle, called moduli, performed using the cryogenic resonant-mass gravitational wave detector AURIGA. This particle may give a significant contribution to the Dark Matter (DM) in our Universe. DM clusters under the galaxies gravitational effect, forming the so called galactic halo. The interaction of ordinary matter with a DM halo composed by moduli causes the oscillation of solids with a frequency equal to the mass of the DM particle. In particular, the putative signal would appear as a narrow peak ($\triangle f\sim1\,\mathrm{mHz}$) in the sensitive band of AURIGA, some $100\,\mathrm{Hz}$ at about $1\,\mathrm{kHz}$. We used high quality data, selected out of an acquisition of years of continuous running. The search sets upper limits at $95\%\,C.L.$ on the moduli coupling to matter $d_{i}\lesssim10^{-5}$ around moduli masses $m_{\Phi}=3.6\cdot10^{-12}\,\mathrm{eV}$.
