CAST solar axion search with 3^He buffer gas: Closing the hot dark matter gap

M. Arik, S. Aune, K. Barth +72

The CERN Axion Solar Telescope (CAST) has finished its search for solar axions with 3^He buffer gas, covering the search range 0.64 eV < m_a <1.17 eV. This closes the gap to the co…

CAST constraints on the axion-electron coupling

K. Barth, A. Belov, B. Beltran +53

In non-hadronic axion models, which have a tree-level axion-electron interaction, the Sun produces a strong axion flux by bremsstrahlung, Compton scattering, and axio-recombination…

Results and perspectives of the solar axion search with the CAST experiment

E. Ferrer-Ribas, M. Arik, S. Aune +69

The status of the solar axion search with the CERN Axion Solar Telescope (CAST) will be presented. Recent results obtained by the use of He as a buffer gas has allowed us to ex…

CAST search for sub-eV mass solar axions with 3He buffer gas

M. Arik, S. Aune, K. Barth +68

The CERN Axion Solar Telescope (CAST) has extended its search for solar axions by using 3He as a buffer gas. At T=1.8 K this allows for larger pressure settings and hence sensitivi…

Search for 14.4 keV solar axions emitted in the M1-transition of 57Fe nuclei with CAST

CAST Collaboration, S. Andriamonje, S. Aune +58

We have searched for 14.4 keV solar axions or more general axion-like particles (ALPs), that may be emitted in the M1 nuclear transition of 57Fe, by using the axion-to-photon conve…

Search for solar axion emission from 7Li and D(p,gamma)3He nuclear decays with the CAST gamma-ray calorimeter

CAST Collaboration, S. Andriamonje, S. Aune +58

We present the results of a search for a high-energy axion emission signal from 7Li (0.478 MeV) and D(p,gamma)3He (5.5 MeV) nuclear transitions using a low-background gamma-ray cal…
