AB  - 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 ∼ 1 mHz) in the sensitive band of AURIGA, some 100 Hz at about 1 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<sub>i</sub> <~10<sup>−5</sup> around moduli masses m<sub>Φ</sub>=3.6·10<sup>−12</sup> eV.
