Unified theory of nonlinear

A. Torres-Gomez, K. Krasnov, & C. Scarinci PRD 83, 025023 (2011)

A class of unified theories of electromagnetism and gravity with Lagrangian of the BF type (F: Curvature of the connection 1-form A (), with a potential for the B () field (Lie-algebra valued 2-form), the gauge group is U(2) (complexified).

Given a choice of the potential function the theory is a deformation of (complex) general relativity and electromagnetism.

PVLAS Ferrara on 3 competing experiments

(I) Q & A in Taiwan: They have the mirrors of the FP installed in two

distant vacuum chambers suspended with attenators of ambient vibrations of the type developed for interferometric gravitational wave detectors. The separation of the two optical halves seems to limit the sensitivity of their apparatus. The finesse is below 10^5

OSQAR at CERN: uses a LHC dipole magnet 15 m long that can reach a 9 T field. The ellipsometer will exploit a FP to maximize the number of reflections and a novel optical techique to modulate the MBV effect. Since it is not feasible to set the LHC magnet in rotation and a modulation of the LHC magnet field intensity could be achieved only at very low frequency, the experiment foresees to modulate the polarization of the light entering the ellipsometer by setting in rotation the polarization plane.

PVLAS Ferrara on 3 competing experiments

(II) According to our experience in this set-up the

rotation of the polarization will generate a very large signal due to the intrinsic birefringence of the FP mirrors.

BMV in Toulouse: homodyne, high intensity magnetic field, employing pulsed magnets (few ms), 40 cm long, that have already reached peak intensities in excess of B = 15 T, L = 0.5 m total length, 5 shots/hour. Finesse 10^5, 10^(-7) per square root Hertz ellipticity sensitivity. For ten times improvement in sensitivity, it takes 650 years of continuous datataking.

Change of Polarization due to Cosmic Propagation

The effect of φ is to change the phase of two different circular polarizations of electromagnetic-wave propagation in gravitation field and gives polarization rotation for linearly polarized light.[6-8]

Polarization observations of radio galaxies put a limit of Δφ ≤ 1 over cosmological distance.[9-14]

Further observations to test and measure Δφ to 10-6 is promising.

The natural coupling strength φ is of order 1. However, the isotropy of our observable universe to 10-5 may leads to a change (ξ)Δφ of φ over cosmological distance scale 10-5 smaller. Hence, observations to test and measure Δφ to 10-6 are needed.

The angle between the direction of linear polarization in the UV and the direction of the UV axis for RG at z > 2. The angle predicted by the scattering model is 90^o

2011.12.12. NTHU Foundations of Classical Electrodynamics and PPM Framework W-T Ni 47

The advantage of the test using the optical/UV polarization over that using the radio one is that it is based on a physical prediction of the orientation of the polarization due to scattering, which is lacking in the radio case,

and that it does not require a correction for the Faraday rotation, which is considerable in the radio but negligible in the optical/UV.

CMB Polarization Observation

In 2002, DASI microwave interferometer observed the polarization of the cosmic background.

With the pseudoscalar-photon interaction , the polarization anisotropy is shifted relative to the temperature anisotropy.

In 2003, WMAP found that the polarization and temperature are correlated to 10σ. This gives a constraint of 10-1 rad or 6 degrees of the cosmic polarization rotation angle Δφ.

CMB Polarization Observation

In 2005, the DASI results were extended (Leitch et al.) and observed by CBI (Readhead et al.) and CAPMAP (Barkats et al.)

In 2006, BOOMERANG CMB Polarization DASI, CBI, and BOOMERANG detections of

Temperature-polarization cross correllation QuaD Planck Surveyor was launched last year with

better polarization-temperature measurement sensitivity. Sensitivity to cosmic polarization rotation Δφ of 10-2-10-3 expected.
