| contents | We derive new constraints on light CP-even scalars using old gamma-ray observations in the direction of SN1987A by the Solar Maximum Mission (SMM) satellite. Light scalars can be abundantly produced in the supernova core via the nucleon bremsstrahlung process, can stream out of the supernova-environment and decay into photons -- either primary photons or secondary photons from lepton-antilepton pairs -- thus leading to a gamma-ray signal. From the non-observation of excess photon flux by SMM after the detection of the neutrino burst from SN1987A, we set new constraints on the mixing angle of the CP-even scalar with the Standard Model Higgs boson. |
