Abstract

We have searched for 14.4 keV solar axions or more general axion-like particles (ALPs), that may be emitted in the M1 nuclear transition of ⁵⁷Fe, by using the axion-to-photon conversion in the CERN Axion Solar Telescope (CAST) with evacuated magnet bores (Phase I). From the absence of excess of the monoenergetic X-rays when the magnet was pointing to the Sun, we set model-independent constraints on the coupling constants of pseudoscalar particles that couple to two photons and to a nucleon g _aγ|-1. 19g _aN ⁰+g _aN ³| < 1.36 × 10 ^-16 GeV ^-1 for m _a < 0.03 eV at the 95% confidence level.
