Searching for a U-boson with a positron beam
Abstract
A high sensitivity search for a light U-boson by means of a positron beam incident on a hydrogen target is proposed. We described a concept of the experiment and two possible realizations. The projected result of this experiment corresponds to an upper limit on the square of coupling constant |feU|2 = 3×10-9 with a signal to noise ratio of five.
