New limit on the mass of 9.4-keV solar axions emitted in an M1 transition in 83Kr nuclei
Abstract
A search for resonant absorption of the solar axion by 83Kr nuclei was performed using the proportional counter installed inside the low-background setup at the Baksan Neutrino Observatory. The obtained model independent upper limit on the combination of isoscalar and isovector axion-nucleon couplings |g3-g0|≤ 1.69× 10-6 allowed us to set the new upper limit on the hadronic axion mass of mA≤ 130 eV (95\% C.L.) with the generally accepted values S=0.5 and z=0.56.
