Abstract
We discuss experiments for detecting hyperphotons (), 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 is best detected as an unobserved neutral in the decays and , and that existing experimental limits provide nontrivial constraints on the strength and range of possible hypercharge couplings.
