A Search For Solar Hadronic Axions Using Kr-83
We introduce a new experimental method for solar hadronic axions search. It
is suggested that these axions are created in the Sun during M1 transition
between the first thermally excited level at 9.4 keV and the ground state in
. Our method is based on axion detection via resonant absorption
process by the same nucleus in the laboratory. We use proportional gas counter
filled with krypton to detect signals for axions. With this setup, target and
detector are the same which increases the efficiency of the experiment. At
present, an upper limit on hadronic axion mass of 5.5 keV at the 95% confidence
level is obtained.Comment: 3 pages, contribution to ISRP9 Conference in Cape Town 2003. Version
