On the problem of detection efficiency in Bell-Type experiments

Abstract

In this note we wish to demonstrate that the concept of efficiency loophole, as far as a local realistic model is concerned, is a self-defeating one since it implies that the static fields (for example, electric or gravitational) of and elementary particle must be in the form of quantized superluminal pulses. The Idea, however, may still be advocated by the proponents of non-local realistic models since it is shown that such superluminal pulses do not contradict the facts of Lorentz transformations. As an alternative to Bell-type experiments we propose an experiment by means of which one can directly verify the validity of otherwise of the concept of efficiency.
