Abstract: In this work, I present an innovative idea to search for solar axions using a large volume low background Time Projection Chamber (TPC) immersed in a magnetic field. This technique will be sensitive to axion masses above few hundreds of meV in the theoretically favored QCD-axion parameter space. The detector geometry will be such that will allow to monitor the solar axion flux during the whole day. A stationary detector would produce a daily and annual modulation signal pattern given by the angle of the incident axion flux and the TPC magnetic field which is driven by the earth rotation. Recent progress on large volume low background TPC's for rare event searches motivates the development of such helioscope technique. The principle of detection and prospects on the sensitivity of such an experiment will be shown.
