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…
Spontaneous formation of a macroscopically extended coherent state
C. Braggio, F. Chiossi, G. Carugno +2
It is a straightforward result of electromagnetism that dipole oscillators radiate more strongly when they are synchronized, and that if there are dipoles, the overall emitted…
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…
Towards a direct measurement of vacuum magnetic birefringence: PVLAS achievements
F. Della Valle, G. Di Domenico, U. Gastaldi +4
Nonlinear effects in vacuum have been predicted but never observed yet directly. The PVLAS collaboration has long been working on an apparatus aimed at detecting such effects by me…
