Description

I will present a low-cost experimental proposal for axion searches at synchrotron radiation facilities, such as SPring-8, NanoTerasu, and Photon Factory. Specifically, I will discuss the method for calculating axion production in an undulator, a type of light source widely used across various fields. By positioning an axion detector outside the shield used in the primary experiments, we can conduct a sustainable, coexisting axion search experiment. This approach has the potential to set a world record in the light-shining-through-a-wall experiment for probing the heavy axion mass range.
