A' view of the sunrise: boosting helioscopes with angular information

Frerick, Jonas; Kahlhoefer, Felix; Schmidt-Hoberg, Kai

The Sun may copiously produce hypothetical light particles such as axions or dark photons, a scenario which can be experimentally probed with so-called helioscopes. Here we investigate the impact of the angular and spectral distribution of solar dark photons on the sensitivity of such instruments. For the first time we evaluate this spectral and a…
