Abstract

We show that a light neutral vector boson in the mass range 1–2 MeV with coupling to three photons would strongly mix with virtual photons in the presence of strong electric fields. Bounds on the strength of the vector boson-three photon interaction can be derived from the measure pair-conversion coefficients for excited states in heavy nuclei. A measurement of the 3γ decay rate of suitable nuclear excited states is suggested.
