Abstract
We have searched for axions which could have been produced in the solar core using an axion helioscope with a 2.3m-long 4T superconducting magnet. Axion mass region up to ma=0.26eV was newly explored by introducing dispersion-matching gas. Preliminary analysis sets a limit on axion-photon coupling constant to be less than (6.4--9.6)e-10 GeV-1 (95%CL) for this mass region from the absence of the axion signal. This is more stringent than the limit inferred from the solar age consideration and also more stringent than the recent helioseismological bound.
