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…
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…
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…
Prospects for the CERN Axion Solar Telescope Sensitivity to 14.4 keV Axions
Kresimir Jakovcic
The CERN Axion Solar Telescope (CAST) is searching for solar axions using the 9.0 T strong and 9.26 m long transverse magnetic field of a twin aperture LHC test magnet, where axion…
