Latest Results of the OSQAR Photon Regeneration Experiment for Axion-Like Particle Search
Abstract
The OSQAR photon regeneration experiment searches for pseudoscalar and scalar axion-like particles by the method of "Light Shining Through a Wall", based on the assumption that these weakly interacting sub-eV particles couple to two photons to give rise to quantum oscillations with optical photons in strong magnetic field. No excess of events has been observed, which constrains the di-photon coupling strength of both pseudoscalar and scalar particles down to 5.7 · 10-8 GeV-1 in the massless limit. This result is the most stringent constraint on the di-photon coupling strength ever achieved in laboratory experiments.
