About the possibility to observe diurnal variations of the count rate of dark photons by the multicathode counters

Abstract

The possibility to observe the diurnal variations in the count rate of dark photons using the multicathode counters is investigated. We show that placing detectors at three different mines at different latitudes: Pyh\"asalmi in Finland, Baksan at Russia and INO in India and conducting the measurements with three different orientations of detectors one can obtain quite a complete series of data to determine the direction of the dark photon field. We present the results of the measurements fulfilled by the presently developed counters.
