Shining massive light through a wall
نویسندگان
چکیده
A massive photon possesses a longitudinal polarization mode absent in its massless counterpart. Transverse and modes follow different dispersion relations, the latter being much less attenuated than former when passing through conductor, suggesting possibility of isolating by shining intense light on conducting wall. We calculate transmission rates for normal incidence upon semi-infinite medium passage slab. For second case we compare expected fluxes with those measurable current future light-shining-through-a-wall experiments. Using 1-MW microwave source as envisaged STAX project, sensitivity at level $m_\gamma < 9.6 \times 10^{-11} \, {\rm eV/c^2}$ could be reached after run time an year, potential improvement factor $\sim 10^4$ if radio waves similar power are used.

No light shining through a wall
We are the first to present here the results of a pulsed ”light shining through a wall” experiment, specifically designed to test the PVLAS claims. Our pulsed approach allows us to measure very small conversion rates free from the inevitable false counts of photon detectors. We have not detected any regenerated photons, testing conversion and back conversion on a total of more than 4× 10 incide...
متن کاملMinicharged particles in light-shining-through-wall- experiments and the photon polarization tensor
A first theoretical feasibility study for a novel “light-shining-through-wall” scenario in the presence of an external magnetic field is performed. In contrast to standard scenarios, the barrier is not traversed by means of weakly interacting on-shell particles, but by virtual minicharged particle-antiparticle states. The study of this process heavily relies on the knowledge of the photon polar...
متن کاملShining a light on optogenetics
O ptogenetics is relatively new and has attracted much interest since the first publications from the field in the early 2000s. Both researchers and the media are fascinated by the notions it conjures of bionic implants. Notwithstanding potential applications, the technology has quickly become an important research tool in neuroscience with potential for developing a range of novel therapeutic ...
متن کاملShining through
It may be in vogue as a car colour, but for millenia insects, birds and fishes have evolved the metallic look. Many insects, birds and fish display vivid metallic colours. But such a show is not the result of pigments, but the structured reflections of light hitting the surface of the organism. Although such reflections are widespread in contemporary species, no one has discovered evidence of s...
