Proposed Search for a wind of Axion-like-particles using the Gravitational Wave Interferometers
Adrian Melissinos
If ALPs exist, the refractive index of light will be modified when light traverses a region where an ALP field is present. We propose to measure the refractive index of light and i…
Observation of long-term changes in the effective refractive index of light
Adrian Melissinos
During the LIGO S5 run (April 2006 to June 2007) preliminary data from the H1 interferometer recorded long-term changes in the effective refractive index of light over a 14 month p…
Upper limit on the Stiffness of space-time
Adrian Melissinos
From the recently observed propagation of gravitational waves through space-time an upper limit can be deduced for the stiffness of space-time through which the gravitational wave…
Possible scheme for observing acceleration (Unruh) radiation
Adrian Melissinos
In an FEL the electrons traveling through the undulator are surrounded in their own reference frame by Unruh radiation at a temperature of order 8,000 Kelvin. When these virtual ph…
The refractive index of the vacuum and the dark sector
Adrian C. Melissinos
We discuss a recent result about the refractive index of the vacuum and compare it with existing limits. We consider a possible connection with the dark sector.
Use of the gravitational-wave interferometers to test Lorentz invariance violation
Adrian Melissinos
Currently operating gravitational-wave interferometers are Michelson interferometers with effective arm length L ~ 4x10e5 m. While the interferometer remains in lock, data at the f…
