Axion-like particle oscillations

چکیده
String theory compactifications may generate many light axion-like particles (ALPs) with weak couplings to electromagnetism. In general, a large number of ALPs exist, linear combination having potentially observable coupling The basis in which only one ALP couples electromagnetism is general misaligned the mass basis. This leads mixing between `electromagnetic' and `hidden' that do not interact directly photon. process analagous neutrino oscillations. I will discuss phenomenological consequences this for astrophysical signals, particular showing it significantly reduce predicted signal experiments such as CERN Axion Solar Telescope.

Cornering the axion-like particle explanation of quasar polarisations
In a series of paper, it has been shown that the distribution of polarisation position angles for visible light from quasars is not random in extremely large regions of the sky. As explained in a recent article, the measurement of vanishing circular polarisation for such quasars is an important problem for a mechanism involving the mixing with axionlike particles in external magnetic fields. In...
متن کاملThe Need for Purely Laboratory-Based Axion-Like Particle Searches
Abstract The PVLAS signal has led to the proposal of many experiments searching for light bosons coupled to photons. The coupling strength probed by these near future searches is, however, far from the allowed region, if astrophysical bounds apply. But the environmental conditions for the production of axion-like particles in stars are very different from those present in laboratories. We consi...
متن کاملLeptogenesis via Axion Oscillations after Inflation.
Once a light axionlike scalar field couples to the electroweak gauge bosons, its classical motion during reheating induces an effective chemical potential for the fermion number. In the presence of rapid lepton number (L)-violating processes in the plasma, such a chemical potential provides a favorable opportunity for baryogenesis via leptogenesis. We are able to demonstrate that L violation du...
متن کاملRepeating Pulsed Magnet System for Axion-like Particle Searches and Vacuum Birefringence Experiments
We have developed a repeating pulsed magnet system which generates magnetic fields of about 10 T in a direction transverse to an incident beam over a length of 0.8 m with a repetition rate of 0.2 Hz. Its repetition rate is by two orders of magnitude higher than usual pulsed magnets. It is composed of four low resistance racetrack coils and a 30 kJ transportable capacitor bank as a power supply....
