Polarimetry for measuring the vacuum magnetic birefringence with quasi-static fields: a systematics study for the VMB@CERN experiment

G. Zavattini, F. Della Valle, A. M Soflau +9

We present an experimental systematics study of the polarimetric method for measuring the vacuum magnetic birefringence based on a pair of rotating half-wave plates. The presence o…

The PVLAS experiment: a 25 year effort to measure vacuum magnetic birefringence

A. Ejlli, F. Della Valle, U. Gastaldi +4

This paper describes the 25 year effort to measure vacuum magnetic birefringence and dichroism with the PVLAS experiment. The experiment went through two main phases: the first usi…

Polarisation dynamics of a birefringent Fabry-Perot cavity

Aldo Ejlli, Federico Della Valle, Guido Zavattini

Optical Fabry-Perot cavities always show a non-degeneracy of two orthogonal polarisation states. This is due to the unavoidable birefringence of dielectric mirrors whose effects ar…

A polarisation modulation scheme for measuring vacuum magnetic birefringence with static fields

G. Zavattini, F. Della Valle, A. Ejlli +1

A novel polarisation modulation scheme for polarimeters based on Fabry-Perot cavities is presented. The application to the proposed HERA-X experiment aiming to measuring the magnet…

The PVLAS experiment: measuring vacuum magnetic birefringence and dichroism with a birefringent Fabry-Perot cavity

F. Della Valle, E. Milotti, A. Ejlli +5

Vacuum magnetic birefringence was predicted long time ago and is still lacking a direct experimental confirmation. Several experimental efforts are striving to reach this goal, and…
