On search for eV hidden sector photons in Super-Kamiokande and CAST experiments
If light hidden sector photons (γs) exist, they could be produced through kinetic mixing with solar photons in the eV energy range. We propose to search for this hypothetical γ-flux with the Super-Kamiokande and/or upgraded CAST detectors. The proposed experiments are sensitive to the γ − γ mixing strength as small as 10 & χ & 10 for the γ mass region 10 . mγ′ . 10 −1 eV and, in the case of non...
متن کاملOn search for hidden sector photons in Super-Kamiokande
If hidden sector photons(γ) exist, they could be produced through oscillations of photons emitted by the Sun. We show that a search for these particles could be performed in Super-Kamiokande due to the presence in this detector of a large number of photomultiplier’s (PMTs) with a relatively low noise and big size. The γs would penetrate the Earth shielding and would be detected by PMTs through ...
متن کاملA Cavity Experiment to Search for Hidden Sector Photons
We propose a cavity experiment to search for low mass extra U(1) gauge bosons with gaugekinetic mixing with the ordinary photon, so-called paraphotons. The setup consists of two microwave cavities shielded from each other. In one cavity, paraphotons are produced via photon-paraphoton oscillations. The second, resonant, cavity is then driven by the paraphotons that permeate the shielding and rec...
متن کاملSearch for hidden sector photons with the ADMX detector.
Hidden U(1) gauge symmetries are common to many extensions of the standard model proposed to explain dark matter. The hidden gauge vector bosons of such extensions may mix kinetically with standard model photons, providing a means for electromagnetic power to pass through conducting barriers. The axion dark matter experiment detector was used to search for hidden vector bosons originating in an...
