Their property of coupling to photons has inspired different experimental methods for their detection, one of which is the helioscope technique. The CERN Axion Solar Telescope (CAST) is the most sensitive helioscope built up to date and has recently published part of the latest data taken with the magnet bores gradually filled with 3He, probing the mass range up to 1.17 eV. The International AXion Observatory (IAXO) is being proposed as a facility where different axion studies can be performed, with the primary goal to study axions coming from the Sun. Designed to maximize sensitivity, it will improve the levels reached by CAST by almost 5 orders of magnitude in signal detection, that is more than one order of magnitude in terms of ga¿. Here we will summarize the most important aspects of the helioscopes, and focus mainly on IAXO, based on the recent papers info:eu-repo/grantAgreement/ES/MICINN/CPAN-CSD2007-00042 info:eu-repo/grantAgreement/ES/MINECO-FEDER/FPA2008-03456 info:eu-repo/grantAgreement/ES/MINECO-FEDER/FPA2011-24058 info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess by http://creativecommons.org/licenses/by/3.0/es/ 0.313 2016 Nuclear and High Energy Physics 2016 Q3 info:eu-repo/semantics/article info:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersion Arik, M.
