Advances in the Vacuum Magnetic Birefringence measurement using a pulsed Foil Coil

Enzo Rodriguez Alvarez, Jonathan Agil, Julien Billette +3

In this paper, in the framework of the {\it Biréfringence Magnétique du Vide} (BMV) experiment, we present our current apparatus in detail and we discuss its critical points. We al…

Hyperfine and Zeeman Optical Pumping and Transverse Laser Cooling of a Thermal Atomic Beam of Dysprosium Using a Single 421 nm Laser

Rohan Chakravarthy, Jonathan Agil, Arijit Sharma +2

We demonstrate the effect of Zeeman and hyperfine optical pumping and transverse laser cooling of a dysprosium (Dy) atomic beam on the $4f^{10}6s^2(J = 8) \rightarrow 4f^{10}6s6p(J…

Characterisation of the waveplate associated to layers in interferential mirrors

J. Agil, B. Letourneur, S. George +2

In this paper, first we present a review of experimental data corresponding to phase retardation per reflection of interferential mirrors. Then, we report our new measurements on b…

On the Positronium g-factor

J. Agil, D. Bakalov, R. Battesti +1

In this letter, we recall the main facts concerning the g-factor of positronium and we show how the value of the g-factor of the positronium is important. Taking it better into con…

On the speed of light in a vacuum in the presence of a magnetic field

Jonathan Agil, Rémy Battesti, Carlo Rizzo

The nature of light, the existence of magnetism, the physical meaning of a vacuum are problems so deeply related to philosophy that they have been discussed for thousands of years.…

A novel pulsed magnet for magnetic linear birefringence measurements

J Béard, Jonathan Agil, R Battesti +1

In this paper, we describe a novel pulsed magnet, called Foil Coil, which can deliver a field transverse to the light propagation of more than 10 T over about 0.8 meters operating…

Monte Carlo study of the BMV vacuum linear magnetic birefringence experiment

Jonathan Agil, R. Battesti, C. Rizzo

QED vacuum can be polarized and magnetized by an external electromagnetic field, therefore acting as a birefringent medium. This effect has not yet been measured. In this paper, af…
