Description
The Earth may provide an interesting source for the production of axions. The crust and mantle portion contain heavy radionuclides, which can produce axions either via Compton or Primakoff scattering. We look at the detection capabilities of large-scale terrestrial neutrino detectors as well as satellite Compton telescopes in probing the axion-electron coupling $g_{aee}$ and the axion-photon coupling $g_{a\gamma \gamma}$.
