Lighting Through A Wall Experiment

However very feeble gravitational and electroweak effects allow for this exotic possibility.

Lighting through a wall experiment.

We present here the 2sigma limits obtained so far with our novel setup consisting of a pulsed magnetic field and a pulsed laser. In this paper we have described and characterized our apparatus and demonstrated the data analysis procedures. Like the wimps the suspected particle does not belong to the standard model of particle physics nor is it clear that it actually exists. Unfortunately with present and near future technologies the opportunity to observe light shining through walls via these effects is completely out of question.

To leading order we find that when the photon frequency ωis very close to the axion mass m there is a threshold cusp. The wavy line indicates the photon field and the dashed line the axion field. This type of experiment was first performed using light by thomas young in 1801 as a demonstration of the wave behavior of light. At first glance this sounds crazy.

An example of this is the so called axion. Recently axionlike particle search has received renewed interest. Shining light through walls. The experiment is to search for particles that can shine light through a wall.

In particular several groups have started light shining through a wall experiments based on magnetic field and laser both continuous which is very demanding in terms of detector background. Nevertheless there are quite a number of experimental collaborations around. The alps collaboration runs a light shining through a wall lsw experiment to search for photon oscillations into weakly interacting sub ev particles wisps inside of a superconducting hera dipole magnet at the site of desy. Several different calculational methods are employed and compared and in all cases we retain a nonzero axion mass.

Light shining through a wall setup. An x ray version of this experiment has recently been proposed by rabadán et al. The idea behind the double slit experiment is that even if the photons are sent through the slits one at a time there s still a wave present to produce the interference pattern. Moreover it displays the fundamentally probabilistic nature of quantum mechanical phenomena.
