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…

IAXO - The International Axion Observatory

J. K. Vogel, F. T. Avignone, G. Cantatore +61

The International Axion Observatory (IAXO) is a next generation axion helioscope aiming at a sensitivity to the axion-photon coupling of a few 10^{-12} GeV^{-1}, i.e. 1-1.5 orders…

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…

In-situ calibration of a PMT inside a scintillation detector by means of primary scintillation detection

NEXT Collaboration, V. Álvarez, F. I. G. M. Borges +75

We have investigated the possibility of calibrating the PMTs of scintillation detectors, using the primary scintillation produced by X-rays to induce single photoelectron response…

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 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…
