Description

It is well known that the Sun represents an efficient and intense source of axions. We aim to study such axions and analyze their properties using the terrestrial neutrino oscillation experiment JUNO. We consider the Compton conversion, axions decay to the photon, and inverse Primakoff conversion processes in order to analyze the axion detection signatures. In this talk, will be presented a detailed analysis to constrain the axion-electron ($ g_{Ae} $), axion-photon ($ g_{A\gamma} $), and axion-nucleon ($ g_{3AN} $) couplings using JUNO data for axion mass $ m_a < 1 $ MeV. For comparison, we will also show bounds arising from other laboratory-based experiments.
