The BMV experiment : a novel apparatus to study the propagation of light in a transverse magnetic field
arXiv:0710.1703 · doi:10.1140/epjd/e2007-00306-3
Abstract
In this paper, we describe in detail the BMV (Biréfringence Magnétique du Vide) experiment, a novel apparatus to study the propagation of light in a transverse magnetic field. It is based on a very high finesse Fabry-Perot cavity and on pulsed magnets specially designed for this purpose. We justify our technical choices and we present the current status and perspectives.
