7 pp. (1990)., We have searched for axion and light Higgs boson production in the channel $ϒ (1S)$ → $(a^0 or h^0) + γ$, where the non-interacting axion a0 and the Higgs boson $h^0$ do not decay in the detector. We find no evidence for an axion and give an upper limit,$ Br(ϒ (1S) → a^0γ) < 4.0 × 10^{−5} (90% CL)$, for long-lived axions. Combining our limit with the previous search in J/ψ decays, we are able to rule out the axion in the standard model with first order QCD corrections. Our $ϒ (1S)$ data also rule out a Higgs boson with mass mh < 86 MeV.
