The 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 کاملCornering 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 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....
متن کاملInvisible Axion-Like Dark Matter from Electroweak Bosonic Seesaw
We explore a model based on the classically-scale invariant standard model (SM) with a strongly coupled vector-like dynamics, which is called hypercolor (HC). The scale symmetry is dynamically broken by the vector-like condensation at the TeV scale, so that the SM Higgs acquires the negative mass-squared by the bosonic seesaw mechanism to realize the electroweak symmetry breaking. An elementary...
متن کاملAxion Searches with Helioscopes and astrophysical signatures for axion(-like) particles
Axions should be produced copiously in Stars such as the Sun. The first part of the article reviews the capabilities and performance of axion helioscopes. The mechanism they rely on is described and the achieved experimental results for the interaction of solar axions and axion-like particles with matter are given. The second part is observationally driven. New results obtained with Monte Carlo...
