XMASS anounced their solar axion limit

XMASS dark matter experiment in Japan announced their solar axion limit, using 6.7 days, total of 5.6 ton-days.
Their limit below 1 keV axion mass is g_Ae < 5.4 × 10−11 (90% C.L.).

Their paper can be compared to the predicted sensitivity given by Arisaka Lab's analysis:

Axion search by Liquid Xenon

Arisaka's group has studied a possibility of searching for axion and axion-like particles by liquid Xenon detectors such as XENON100 and XENON1T.

XENON100 announced the new results from 225 days data

The XENON100 collaboration submitted a paper with the new results of a 225 days to PRL, excluding previously unexplored parameter space and questioning the light WIMP interpretation of the DAMA and CoGeNT results.
