A New Bound on Light-by-Light Scattering in the Low-Energy Regime
Aimé Matheron, Michal Šmíd, Felix Karbstein +76
The superposition principle at the heart of optics states that electromagnetic fields do not interact in vacuum. This principle is not universal, instead electromagnetic fields cou…
Dark-field Search for Quantum Vacuum Signals in the Low-Energy Regime
Aimé Matheron, Michal Šmíd, Felix Karbstein +52
We report on the experimental details of a dark-field search for light-by-light scattering signals performed at the High Energy Density (HED) instrument of the European XFEL (EuXFE…
The Darkfield Approach to Measuring Vacuum Birefringence and Light-by-Light Couplings -- A Proof-of-Principle Experiment
Michal Smíd, Pooyan Khademi, Carsten Bähtz +29
Vacuum fluctuations give rise to effective nonlinear interactions between electromagnetic fields. These generically modify the characteristics of light traversing a strong-field re…
Letter of Intent: Towards a Vacuum Birefringence Experiment at the Helmholtz International Beamline for Extreme Fields
N. Ahmadiniaz, C. Bähtz, A. Benediktovitch +49
Quantum field theory predicts a nonlinear response of the vacuum to strong electromagnetic fields of macroscopic extent. This fundamental tenet has remained experimentally challeng…
Experimental estimates of the photon background in a potential light-by-light scattering study
Leonard Doyle, Pooyan Khademi, Peter Hilz +4
High power short pulse lasers provide a promising route to study the strong field effects of the quantum vacuum, for example by direct photon-photon scattering in the all-optical r…
