Abstract

We report the results of studies showing that temperature dependent photoluminescence is the likely source of unexpected large background rates in afterglow searches for dark sector phenomena, commonly called "chameleons". Using this information, we examine the possibility of a room temperature chameleon afterglow search that automatically eliminates this background. Then, without this background, we discuss a modest search effort exploring the afterglow halflife range 0.1 sec ≤ T_1/2 ≤ 120 sec equivalent to photon coupling constant range 8 × 10¹² ≤ β_γ ≤ 3 × 10¹⁴.
