Abstract

Axions with an energy of 9.4 keV emitted in the M1 transition of 83Kr nuclei in the Sun have been sought in the resonance absorption reaction A + 83Kr → 83Kr* → 83Kr + γ, e (9.4 keV). A proportional gas chamber filled with krypton and placed in a low-background setup at the underground laboratory of the Baksan neutrino observatory was used to detect γ-ray photons and electrons appearing after the decay of a nuclear level. As a result, a new constraint has been determined on the isoscalar and isovector coupling constants of the axion with nucleons: |g 3 AN – g 0 AN | ≤ 1.29 × 10–6. This constraint results in the following new bound on the mass of the axion in the hadronic axion model: m A ≤ 100 eV (95% C.L.).
