Magnetic Mixing -- Electric Minicharges from Magnetic Monopoles
Felix Bruemmer, Joerg Jaeckel, Valentin V. Khoze
Many extensions of the Standard Model require the existence of a "hidden" sector. We consider settings where the hidden sector in the infrared contains a U(1) gauge factor with mag…
Probing Minicharged Particles with Tests of Coulomb's Law
Joerg Jaeckel
Minicharged particles arise in many extensions of the Standard Model. Their contribution to the vacuum polarization modifies Coulomb's law via the Uehling potential. In this note w…
Tunneling of the 3rd kind
Holger Gies, Joerg Jaeckel
We study a new kind of tunneling of particles through a barrier particular to quantum field theory. Here, the particles traverse the barrier by splitting into a virtual pair of par…
The Discovery Potential of Laser Polarization Experiments
Markus Ahlers, Joerg Jaeckel, Andreas Ringwald
Currently, a number of experiments are searching for vacuum magnetic birefringence and dichroism, i.e. for dispersive and absorptive features in the propagation of polarized light…
Searching Hidden-sector Photons inside a Superconducting Box
Joerg Jaeckel, Javier Redondo
We propose an experiment to search for extra "hidden-sector" U(1) gauge bosons with gauge kinetic mixing with the ordinary photon, predicted by many extensions of the Standard Mode…
The Need for Purely Laboratory-Based Axion-Like Particle Searches
J. Jaeckel, E. Masso, J. Redondo +2
The PVLAS signal has led to the proposal of many experiments searching for light bosons coupled to photons. The coupling strength probed by these near future searches is, however,…
