已经对法国电力公司拥有和运营的Bugey反应堆的Axion进行了搜索。轴子的产生应与NP俘获的磁跃迁成正比，并可通过其衰变为2γ射线来检测。在这次测量中没有观察到任何信号。此外，从97Nb的单个质子磁跃迁中也没有看到轴子信号。利用这两个结果，可以在Peccei-Quinn形式中排除质量高达1 MeV的轴子。
A search has been conducted for the axion at the Bugey reactor which is owned and operated by Electricité de France. The axion production should be proportional to the magnetic transition of np capture, and be detectable by its decay into 2γ rays. No signal was observed in this measurement. Also no axion signal was seen from a single proton magnetic transition of97Nb. Using those two results, the axion can be excluded with a mass up to 1 MeV in the Peccei-Quinn formalism.
