  The elegant solutions to the strong CP problem predict the existence of a
particle called axion. Thus, the search for axion like particles (ALP) has been
an ongoing endeavor. The possibility that these axion like particles couple to
photons in presence of magnetic field gives rise to a technique of detecting
these particles known as light shining through a wall (LSW). Mississippi State
Axion Search (MASS) is an experiment employing the LSW technique in search for
axion like particles. The apparatus consists of two radio frequency (RF)
cavities, both under the influence of strong magnetic field and separated by a
lead wall. While one of the cavities houses a strong RF generator, the other
cavity houses the detector systems. The MASS apparatus looks for excesses in RF
photons that tunnel through the wall as a signature of candidate axion-like
particles. The concept behind the experiment as well as the projected
sensitivities are presented here.
