The CAST experiment is being mounted at CERN. It will make use of a decommissioned LHC test magnet to look for solar axions through its conversion into photons inside the magnetic field. The magnet has a field of 9.6 Tesla and length of 10 m and is installed in a platform which allows to move it +/-8° vertically and +/-40° horizontally. According to these numbers we expect a sensitivity in axion-photon coupling gαγγ <~ 5 × 10-11 GeV-1 for ma <~ 0.02 eV, and with a gas filled tube gaγγ <~ 10-10
