On the possibility of detecting low-energy scalar and pseudo-scalar bosons

The properties of the conversion of “cold” extra-light scalar or pseudo-scalar bosons weakly interacting with material media to photons with energies of 0.001–1.0 meV are analyzed. Various possible experimental schemes including closed resonant cells at low temperatures and highly sensitive receivers of radio-frequency photons are presented. The existence of such elementary particles is predicted in various expansion versions of the “standard model”. Their direct or indirect detection would make it possible to clarify the nature of the “dark matter” phenomenon.
