New constraints on very light pseudoscalars
A. Payez, J. R. Cudell, D. Hutsemékers
Nearly massless axion-like particles are of interest for astrophysical observations, and some constraints on their parameter space do exist in the literature. Here, we propose to p…

New polarimetric constraints on axion-like particles
A. Payez, J. R. Cudell, D. Hutsemékers
We show that the parameter space of axion-like particles can be severly constrained using high-precision measurements of quasar polarisations. Robust limits are derived from the me…

Cornering the axion-like particle explanation of quasar polarisations
A. Payez
In a series of paper, it has been shown that the distribution of polarisation position angles for visible light from quasars is not random in extremely large regions of the sky. As…
