Search for an axion-like particle with these couplings is motivated by several persistent astrophysical anomalies. We present early conceptual design, existing infrastructure, projected sensitivity and timeline of such a helioscope (Troitsk Axion Solar Telescope Experiment, TASTE) to be constructed in the Institute for Nuclear Research, Troitsk, Russia. The proposed instrument may be also used for the search of dark-matter halo axions.eninfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessDark Matter Detectors (Wımps, Axions, Etc.)Large Detector Systems For Particle And Astroparticle PhysicsX-Ray DetectorsExtragalactic Background LightSolar AxionsSearchCalibrationAbsorptionInvarianceTelescopePhotonArticle2-s2.0-8503863577910.1088/1748-0221/12/11/P11019Q212Q3WOS:000416372200003
