Search for light penetrating bosons with the use of a rotatable detector arrangement at a nuclear reactor

Abstract

The search for the two-photon decay of light penetrating bosons (axions or others), produced in a nuclear reactor, was supplemented by measurements with a rotatable set-up at the Jülich 10 MW research reactor FRJ-1. Measurements were performed in “effect” and “background” positions, the latter not allowing the simultaneous detection of both photons due to decay kinematics. Preliminary measurements, carried out at reactor ON condition only, show no positive effect.
