Description
The axion is a hypothetical particle proposed to solve the so-called CP violation problem in strong interactions. If the axion exists, it could be intensively born inside the Sun, and then can be detected in the inverse reaction of resonance absorption by a $^7$Li-containing detector. A search for $^7$Li solar axions was performed with the Li$_2$MoO$_4$ low-temperature detectors of the AMoRE experiment. The data collected with 1.6 kg Li$_2$MoO$_4$ crystals over 11 months at the Yangyang Underground Laboratory (Y2L) in Korea can be used as a target and detector of axions with ~13% of detection efficiency. A detailed analysis procedure with the first results will be presented. Also, possibilities to reduce backgrounds will be discussed.
