Description
I discuss the physics case for a medium-scale axion helioscope with sensitivities in the axion-photon coupling a few times better than CAST. Search for an axion-like particle with these couplings is motivated by several persistent astrophysical anomalies. Then I report on the project of such a helioscope to be constructed in INR, Troitsk, Russia. On behalf of pre-collaboration, I discuss early conceptual design, existing infrastructure, projected sensitivity and timeline of this experiment.
