String compactification, QCD axion and axion-photon-photon coupling
It is pointed out that there exist a few problems to be overcome toward an observable sub-meV QCD axion in superstring compactification. We give a general expression for the axion decay constant. For a large domain wall number NDW , the axion decay constant can be substantially lowered from a generic value of a scalar singlet VEV. The Yukawa coupling structure in the recent Z12−I model is studi...
متن کاملAxion-photon couplings in invisible axion models.
We reexamine the axion-photon couplings in various invisible axion models motivated by the recent proposal of using optical interferometry at the ASST facility in the SSCL to search for axion. We illustrate that the assignment of U(1)PQ charges for the fermion fields plays an important role in determining the couplings. Several simple non-minimal invisible axion models with suppressed and enhan...
متن کاملResonantly Enhanced Axion-Photon Regeneration
Photon-regeneration experiments which search for the axion, or axionlike particles, may be resonantly enhanced by employing matched Fabry-Perot optical cavities encompassing both the axion production and conversion magnetic field regions. Compared to a simple photon-regeneration experiment, which uses the laser in a single-pass geometry, this technique can result in a gain in rate of order F 2,...
متن کاملDirect observation of nonclassical photon statistics in parametric down-conversion.
We employ a high quantum efficiency photon number counter to determine the photon number distribution of the output field from a parametric down-converter. The raw photocount data directly demonstrates that the source is nonclassical by 40 standard deviations, and correcting for the quantum efficiency yields a direct observation of oscillations in the photon number distribution.
متن کاملExperimental observation of nonclassical effects on single-photon detection rates
It is often asserted that quantum effects can be observed in coincidence detection rates or other correlations, but never in the rate of single-photon detection. We observe nonclassical interference in a singles rate, thanks to the intrinsic nonlinearity of photon counters. This is due to a dependence of the effective detection efficiency on the quantum statistics of the light beam. Such measur...
