FUTURE PROSPECTIVES FOR SOLAR-AXION EXPERIMENTS WITH LARGE ARRAYS OF SINGLE-CRYSTAL DETECTORS

The theory of the detection of neutral light bosons from the sun, using Bragg-coherent Primakoff conversion to photons, is reviewed. A technique for data analysis that allows the combination of the results of completely distinct single-crystal experiments is also reviewed. The purpose of the revival of this subject stems from the many large single crystal arrays now under development for Cold Dark Matter and Neutrinoless Double-Beta Decay.
