Anomalous results seen in the decay of excited beryllium have prompted possible explanations via a new 17 MeV particle. Proposed experiments with high resolution have the potential to not only study the anomaly, but to put constraints on a broader class of light new physics models which would be competitive with other searches in the MeV mass range.
