Ultralight dark photon and Casimir effect
arXiv:2105.09944 · doi:10.1007/s10773-022-05034-9
Abstract
We investigate the influence of a dark photon on the Casimir effect and calculate the corresponding leading contribution to the Casimir energy. For expected magnitudes of the photon - dark photon mixing parameter, the influence turns out to be negligible. The plasmon dispersion relation is also not noticeably modified by the presence of a dark photon.
