Axion-plasmon polaritons in strongly magnetized plasmas
H. Terças, J. D. Rodrigues, J. T. Mendonça
Axions are hypothetical particles related to the violation of the charge-parity symmetry, being the most prone candidates for dark matter. Multiple attempts to prove their existenc…
Axion Excitation by Intense Laser Fields
J. T. Mendonca
Parametric excitation of axions by two beating electromagnetic fields is considered here. This can be used as a new concept for active experiments using the existing ultra-intense…
Nonlinear optical properties of the magnetized QED Vacuum
J. T. Mendonca
New processes associated with the nonlinear optical properties of the electromagnetic vacuum, as predicted by quantum electrodynamics are described. We consider the presence of a s…
Probing QCD Corrections to QED Effects Through Optical Experiments in Vacuum
J. Dias de Deus, P. Castelo Ferreira, J. Tito Mendonca
A numerical estimative error of the magnitude of the vacuum polarization effect due to electron-positron by a factor of in [PRL97(2006)100403; 269901(E)] invalidates the stu…
Photon acceleration in vacuum
J. T. Mendonca, M. Marklund, P. K. Shukla +1
A new process associated with the nonlinear optical properties of the electromagnetic vacuum, as predicted by quantum electrodynamics, is described. This can be called photon accel…
Analysis of four-wave mixing of high-power lasers for the detection of elastic photon-photon scattering
J. Lundin, M. Marklund, E. Lundstrom +5
We derive expressions for the coupling coefficients for electromagnetic four-wave mixing in the non-linear quantum vacuum. An experimental setup for detection of elastic photon-pho…
Higher Harmonics in Non-Linear Vacuum from QED Effects Without Low Mass Intermediate Particles
J. Tito Mendonca, J. Dias de Deus, P. Castelo Ferreira
We show that in the presence of a slowly rotating strong transverse magnetic field there is an infinite spectrum of harmonic wave functions due to the first order QED correct…
Using high-power lasers for detection of elastic photon-photon scattering
E. Lundstrom, G. Brodin, J. Lundin +5
The properties of four-wave interaction via the nonlinear quantum vacuum is investigated. The effect of the quantum vacuum is to generate photons with new frequencies and wave vect…
Moving boundary effects in Quark Gluon Plasma
J. Seixas, J. T. Mendonca
We analyze the known moving boundary effects in plasma and briefly review a mechanism for particle acceleration through a plasma front. We then show how this mechanism may affect p…
