Probing minicharged particles with tests of Coulomb's law.
Minicharged particles arise in many extensions of the standard model. Their contribution to the vacuum polarization modifies Coulomb's law via the Uehling potential. In this Letter, we argue that tests for electromagnetic fifth forces can therefore be a sensitive probe of minicharged particles. In the low mass range < or approximately equal to microeV existing constraints from Cavendish type ex...
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 کاملVacuum friction in rotating particles.
We study the frictional torque acting on particles rotating in empty space. At zero temperature, vacuum friction transforms mechanical energy into light emission and produces particle heating. However, particle cooling relative to the environment occurs at finite temperatures and low rotation velocities. Radiation emission is boosted and its spectrum significantly departed from a hot-body emiss...
متن کاملElectric discharge during electrosurgery
Electric discharge utilized for electrosurgery is studied by means of a recently developed method for the diagnostics of small-size atmospheric plasma objects based on Rayleigh scattering of microwaves on the plasma volume. Evolution of the plasma parameters in the near-electrode sheaths and in the positive column is measured and analyzed. It is found that the electrosurgical system produces a ...
متن کاملGamma Ray Burst as Vacuum Discharge of Super-Schwinger Electric Fields
A theory is proposed to explain with simplicity the basic observed properties of a Gamma Ray Burst (GRB). It employs a well-known result of Schwinger, that static electric fields in excess of a critical value are unstable to pair creation, and catastrophically produces a thermal plasma at temperatures ≤ 0.5 MeV. By using observational values for the energy and volume of the source, it is shown ...
