Description
A search for resonant absorption of the solar axion by $^1$$^6$$^9$Tm nuclei will be performed using the Tm-containing bolometers installed inside the low-background setup at the underground laboratory. The thulium crystal Tm$_3$Al$_5$O$_1$$_2$ have been grown and tested for the first time as a bolometric detector. The expected sensitivity of 1 kg Tm-bolometer to axion-photon g$_A$$_γ$ and axion-electron g$_A$$_e$ coupling constants for axions with mass in the range (10 eV - 8 keV) is stronger than the present astrophysical limits.
