Intrinsic mirror noise in Fabry-Perot based polarimeters: the case for the measurement of vacuum magnetic birefringence
G. Zavattini, F. Della Valle, A. Ejlli +5
Although experimental efforts have been active for about 30 years now, a direct laboratory observation of vacuum magnetic birefringence, an effect due to vacuum fluctuations, still…
Exploring quantum vacuum with low-energy photons
E. Milotti, F. Della Valle, G. Zavattini +8
Although quantum mechanics (QM) and quantum field theory (QFT) are highly successful, the seemingly simplest state -- vacuum -- remains mysterious. While the LHC experiments are ex…
Dynamic Distortions in the HARP TPC: observations, measurements, modelling and corrections
A. Bagulya, A. Blondel, S. Borghi +11
The HARP experiment was designed to study hadron production in proton- nucleus collisions in the energy range of 1.5 GeV/c-15 GeV/c. The experiment was made of two spectrometers, a…
The Time Response of Glass Resistive Plate Chambers to Heavily Ionizing Particles
A. Artamonov, A. Blondel, M. Bogomilov +25
The HARP system of resistive plate chambers (RPCs) was designed to perform particle identification by the measurement of the difference in the time-of-flight of different particles…
Mechanical and electrical noise in the PVLAS experiment
M. Bregant, G. Cantatore, S. Carusotto +9
PVLAS is an experiment which aims at the direct detection of photon-field scattering: it employs optical methods and a large rotating superconducting magnet, and its large, compact…
