Description

The talk will review the reconstruction project of the Troitsk Meson Factory (TiMoFey, INR RAS). One of the possible directions of its work is the search for light feebly interacting particles. For this purpose, it is planned to use the proton beams with kinetic energies of 423 MeV and 1300 MeV hitting a graphite target.

The talk will consider the model of the leptophobic B-boson interacting with the baryon current. We will discuss possible B-boson production channels and TiMoFey's expected sensitivity to visible decays of this particle.

The talk is based on arXiv:2508.01968.
