摘要: Axions, if existing, can cause a strong signal of positron-electron pairs in isoscalar M1 transitions competition with gamma-ray emission. We have searched for such the 3.59 MeV transition 10B fourfold Mini-Orange spectrometer. No axion events were found within one percent prediction standard axion- to γ-ray branching ratio.
