Constraints on the axion-electron coupling constant for solar axions appearing owing to bremsstrahlung and the compton process

Abstract: The axio electric effect in silicon atoms is sought for solar axions appearing owing to bremsstrahl ung and the Compton process. Axions are detected using a Si(Li) detector placed in a low back ground setup. As a result, a model independent constraint on the axion-electron coupling con stant ≤ 2.2 × 10 -10 has been obtained, which leads to the bounds m A ≤ 7.9 eV and m A ≤ 1.4 eV (at 90% C.L.) for the mass of the axion in the DFSZ and KSVZ models, respectively.

“…The expected sensitivity, based on the background hypothesis, is shown by the green/yellow bands (1σ/2σ). Limits by EDELWEISS-II [31], and XMASS [32] are shown, together with the limits from a Si(Li) detector from Derbin et al [33]. Indirect astrophysical bounds from solar neutrinos [34] and red giants [35] are represented by dashed lines.…”

“…The axion-electron coupling is a model-dependent coupling. In the DFSZ model, g ae is proportional to cos 2 β [19], where cot β is the ratio of the two Higgs vacuum expectation values of the model [37]. In the KSVZ model, it depends on E/N [19], where E and N are the electromagnetic and color anomaly of the axial current associated with the axion field [37].…”
