Abstract

Light scalar particles are thought to play a role in cosmology, either as dark matter or dark energy candidates. If they couple to photons they could be emitted by stars, including our sun. I will first Introduce particular theoretical models of such light scalar fields and then discuss whether or not they could be detected in the XENON 1T experiment before discussing more generally the production of solar scalars, their potential detection and model constraints.
