Description

There have been several searches for new particles that can take place using experiments involving protons on target. Axions searches originated as a solution to the strong CP problem in particle physics and later a solution to explain dark matter. Theoretical bosons have also been proposed as an explanation for anomalies such as the X-17 anomaly. Using the IsoDAR neutrino experiment, we show it is possible to provide new constraints of both axions and these theoretical boson particles, and can evaluate several models describing these particles. The IsoDAR experiment has the unique advantage of having several monoenergetic photon peaks. We will also show how the IsoDAR experiment may be designed to further improve potential axion production and observation.
