2 PublicationsSearching for axion resonances in vacuum birefringence with three-beam collisions
Abstract
We consider birefringent (i.e., polarization changing) scattering of x-ray photons at the superposition of two optical laser beams of ultrahigh intensity and study the resonant contributions of axions or axionlike particles, which could also be short lived. Applying the specifications of the Helmholtz International Beamline for Extreme Fields (HIBEF), we find that this setup can be more sensitive than previous light-bylight scattering (birefringence) or light-shining-through-wall experiments in a certain domain of parameter space. By changing the pump and probe laser orientations and frequencies, one can even scan different axion masses, i.e., chart the axion propagator.
