Scientific paper

The idea of a magnetic axion helioscope was first proposed by Pierre Sikivie in 1983. Tokyo axion helioscope was built exploiting its detection principle with a dedicated cryogen-free superconducting magnet and PIN photodiodes for x-ray detectors. Solar axions, if exist, would be converted into x-ray photons in the magnetic field. Conversion is coherently enhanced even for massive axions by filling the conversion region with helium gas. Its start up, search results so far and prospects are presented.
