The Tokyo Axion Helioscope
R. Ohta, Y. Akimoto, Y. Inoue +6
The Tokyo Axion Helioscope experiment aims to detect axions which are produced in the solar core. The helioscope uses a strong magnetic field in order to convert axions into X-ray…
Tokyo axion helioscope experiment
Y. Inoue, Y. Akimoto, R. Ohta +3
A search for solar axions has been performed using an axion helioscope which is equipped with a 2.3m x 4T superconducting magnet, a gas container to hold dispersion-matching gas, P…
Prospects of Search for Solar Axions with Mass over 1 eV and Hidden Sector Photons
R. Ohta, M. Minowa, Y. Inoue +3
We present prospects of two experiments using the Tokyo Axion Helioscope. One is a search for solar axions. In the past measurements, axion mass from 0 to 0.27 eV and from 0.84 to…
Status report of the Tokyo axion helioscope experiment
Y. Inoue, M. Minowa, Y. Akimoto +3
We have searched for solar axions with a detector which consists of a 4T x 2.3m superconducting magnet, PIN-photodiode X-ray detectors, and an altazimuth mount to track the sun. Th…
Search for solar axions with mass around 1 eV using coherent conversion of axions into photons
Y. Inoue, Y. Akimoto, R. Ohta +3
A search for solar axions has been performed using an axion helioscope which is equipped with a 2.3m-long 4T superconducting magnet, a gas container to hold dispersion-matching gas…
Measurement of the thickness of an insensitive surface layer of a PIN photodiode
Y. Akimoto, Y. Inoue, M. Minowa
We measured the thickness of an insensitive surface layer of a PIN photodiode, Hamamatsu S3590-06, used in the Tokyo Axion Helioscope. We made alpha-particles impinge on the PIN ph…
