abstract
We have searched for solar axions or similar particles that couple to two photons by using the CERN Axion Solar Telescope (CAST) setup with improved conditions in all detectors. From the absence of excess X-rays when the magnet was pointing to the Sun, we set an upper limit on the axion-photon coupling of 8.8 x 10^{-11} GeV^{-1} at 95% CL for m_a <~ 0.02 eV. This result is the best experimental limit over a broad range of axion masses and for m_a <~ 0.02 eV also supersedes the previous limit derived from energy-loss arguments on globular-cluster stars.

Axions produced in supernovae generate a diffuse gamma-ray signal through conversion in magnetic fields, yielding competitive constraints on the axion-photon coupling from COMPTEL, EGRET, and Fermi-LAT data plus forecasts for future MeV telescopes.
Projections for IAXO in two-axion parameter space plus spectral analysis of flavor oscillations show where the experiment can discriminate multi-axion signals from single-axion ones, extending to N-axion cases.
Axion-photon oscillations generate bipartite mode entanglement with maximal values at resonance, and quantum speed limits are derived for both axion-photon and neutrino systems.
