FIG. 1 FIG. 1: Dashed blue distribution: expected energy spectrum from a massless solar axion, assuming a coupling gAe = 10-12. The shape arises from the combination of a continuous contribution to the axion flux due to bremsstrahlung and Compton scattering, together with features associated with atomic recombination and deexcitation effects.
