Popis:	We propose a new Time Projection Chamber particle detector (TPC) to search for the existence of feebly-interacting bosons and to investigate the existence of the X17 boson, proposed by the ATOMKI group to explain anomalous results in the angular distributions of electron-positron pairs created in proton-induced nuclear reactions. Our design will provide 200 times greater sensitivity than ATOMKI and the program of research will also provide world-leading limits on feebly interacting bosons in the mass range of 5 - 25 MeV.
