Abstract
Here we present measurements of the rates of emission of single electrons from the cathode of a proportional counter filled with a mixture of Ar + CH4 (10%) at 1 bar. We interpret the results as a possible photoelectric effect associated with hidden photons (HPs). Our results set upper limits for HPs from cold dark matter (CDM). We also discuss future options for searches for HPs from CDM using a multi-cathode counter technique.
