Search for chameleons with CAST

V. Anastassopoulos, M. Arik, S. Aune +61

In this work we present a search for (solar) chameleons with the CERN Axion Solar Telescope (CAST). This novel experimental technique, in the field of dark energy research, exploit…

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…

Solar axion search with the CAST experiment

CAST Collaboration, E. Arik, S. Aune +74

The CAST (CERN Axion Solar Telescope) experiment is searching for solar axions by their conversion into photons inside the magnet pipe of an LHC dipole. The analysis of the data re…

Probing eV-scale axions with CAST

CAST Collaboration, E. Arik, S. Aune +70

We have searched for solar axions or other pseudoscalar particles that couple to two photons by using the CERN Axion Solar Telescope (CAST) setup. Whereas we previously have report…

Search for low Energy solar Axions with CAST

Giovanni Cantatore, E. Arik, S. Aune +77

We have started the development of a detector system, sensitive to single photons in the eV energy range, to be suitably coupled to one of the CAST magnet ports. This system should…

Search for solar axions: the CAST experiment at CERN

Berta Beltran

Hypothetical axion-like particles with a two-photon interaction would be produced in the sun by the Primakoff process. In a laboratory magnetic field they would be transformed into…

First results from the CERN Axion Solar Telescope (CAST)

CAST Collaboration

Hypothetical axion-like particles with a two-photon interaction would be produced in the Sun by the Primakoff process. In a laboratory magnetic field (``axion helioscope'') they wo…

Axion searches at CERN with the CAST Telescope

C. Eleftheriadis et al

The CERN Axion Solar Telescope (CAST) searches for axions coming from photon to axion conversion in the sun's core, as stated by the Primakoff effect. Axions arise in particle phys…
