Repeating Pulsed Magnet System for Axion-like Particle Searches and Vacuum Birefringence Experiments
نویسندگان
چکیده
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. The system aims at axion-like particle searches with a pulsed light source and vacuum birefringence measurements. We report on the details of the system and its performances.

Hunting for Chameleons in ALP searches
We discuss some recent developments in chameleon models presented at the Fourth Patras workshop on Axions, WIMPs and WISPs. In particular we discuss the possibility of searching for chameleons in axion-like particle searches performed in the laboratory. Such chameleons may couple to both photons and matter with different coupling strengths. We discuss the exciting possibility of searching for t...
متن کاملVacuum Birefringence Caused by Arbitrary Spin Particles
The propagation of a linearly polarized laser beam in the external transverse magnetic field is studied. We take into consideration the vacuum polarization by arbitrary spin particles. With the help of the effective Lagrangian, Stokes parameters and induced ellipticity are evaluated. It is shown that ellipticity measured in the PVLAS experiment can be caused by charged spin-3/2 particles posses...
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...

A ring-laser experiment, similar to the Canterbury ring laser, to detect axion-and qed-induced vacuum birefringence is proposed. It uses a slowly modulated magnetic field and a novel polarization geometry. Both axion coupling and vacuum birefringence would modulate the Sagnac beat frequency. A null result could place sensitive bounds on the axion mass and on two-photon coupling. The axion was o...
متن کاملThe BMV project: Search for photon oscillations into massive particles
In this contribution to PSAS08 we report on the research activities developed in our Toulouse group, in the framework of the BMV project, concerning the search for photon oscillations into massive particles, such as axion-like particles in the presence of a strong transverse magnetic field. We recall our main result obtained in collaboration with LULI at École Polytechnique (Palaiseau, France)....
