Abstract

We discuss experiments for detecting hyperphotons (γY), which are the real quanta of a hypercharge field whose existence has been suggested by a recent reanalysis of the Eötvös experiment. It is shown that γY is best detected as an unobserved neutral in the decays K±π±γY and KS0π0γY, and that existing experimental limits provide nontrivial constraints on the strength and range of possible hypercharge couplings.
