Evading Astrophysical Constraints on Axion-Like Particles

Stellar energy loss arguments lead to strong constraints on the coupling φγγ of a light axion-like particle to two photons. Helioscopes, like CAST, are able to put competitive bounds. The PVLAS experiment has recently observed a rotation of the polarization of a laser propagating in a magnetic field that can be interpreted as the effect of a quite strong φγγ coupling. We present scenarios where...

Axion Searches with Helioscopes and astrophysical signatures for axion(-like) particles

Axions should be produced copiously in Stars such as the Sun. The first part of the article reviews the capabilities and performance of axion helioscopes. The mechanism they rely on is described and the achieved experimental results for the interaction of solar axions and axion-like particles with matter are given. The second part is observationally driven. New results obtained with Monte Carlo...

Evading the astrophysical limits on light pseudoscalars

We study the possibility of evading astrophysical bounds on light pseudoscalars by not restricting ourselves to the QCD axion. We argue that the solar bounds can be evaded if we have a sufficiently strong self coupling of the pseudoscalars and their coupling to electrons. The required couplings do not conflict with any known experimental bounds. We also require a small density of pseudoscalar p...

Constraints on chameleons and axion-like particles from the GammeV experiment

We present the most recent results of both aspects of the GammeV experiment. The first aspect is a search for axion-like particles using a variable baseline, "light-shining-through-a-wall" technique. This search excludes the particle interpretation of the PVLAS signal with high confidence. The second aspect of the GammeV experiment is a search for chameleon particles, scalar particles which may...

Astrophysical Axion Bounds

Axion emission by hot and dense plasmas is a new energy-loss channel for stars. Observational consequences include a modification of the solar sound-speed profile, an increase of the solar neutrino flux, a reduction of the helium-burning lifetime of globular-cluster stars, accelerated white-dwarf cooling, and a reduction of the supernova SN 1987A neutrino burst duration. We review and update th...
