Abstract: A search for the axioelectric absorption of 5.5-MeV solar axions produced in the

p + d i g h t a r r o w m^{3} H e + g a m m a (5.5 m M e V)

reaction was performed with two BGO detectors placed inside a low-background setup. A model independent limit on axion-photon and axion-nucleon couplings was obtained:

| g_{A e} i m e s g_{A N} | l e q 3.2 i m e s 1 0^{- 9} (m_{A} = 0)

. Constraints on the axion-electron coupling constant were obtained for axions with masses in the

(0.1 - 1.0)

MeV range:

g_{A e} l e q (1.8 - 9.0) i m e s 1 0^{- 7}

. The solar positron flux from

A i g h t a r r o w e^{-} + e^{+}

decay was determined for axions with masses

m_{A} > 2 m_{e}

. Using the existing experimental data on the interplanetary positron flux, a new constraint on the axion-electron coupling constant for axions with masses in the

(1.2 - 5.4)

MeV range was obtained:

g_{A e} l e q (1 - 5) i m e s 1 0^{- 17}

.
