Abstract

Axions with an energy of 8.4 keV emitted in the М1 transition in 169Tm nuclei in the Sun are sought in the A+169Tm">A+169Tm → 169Tm* → 169Tm+(γ,e)">169Tm+(γ,e) (8.4 keV) reaction of resonant absorption by 169Tm nuclei on the Earth using a Tm3Al5O12">Tm3Al5O12 thulium garnet crystal as a bolometric detector. The flux of monochromatic 8.4‑keV axions has been calculated. New constraints on the axion–nucleon coupling constants have been obtained and, as a result, new upper bounds on the axion mass mAKSVZ⩽141">mAKSVZ⩽141 eV and mADFSZ⩽244">mADFSZ⩽244 eV have been obtained at 90% C.L. in the KSVZ and DFSZ models, respectively.
