Experimental Observation of Optical Rotation Generated in Vacuum by a Magnetic Field
Open accessAbstract
We report the experimental observation of a light polarization rotation in vacuum in the presence of a transverse magnetic field. Assuming that data distribution is Gaussian, the average measured rotation is $(3.9\ifmmode\pm\else\textpm\fi{}0.5)\ifmmode\times\else\texttimes\fi{}{10}^{\ensuremath{-}12}\text{ }\text{ }\mathrm{rad}/\mathrm{\text{pass}}$, at 5 T with 44 000 passes through a 1 m long magnet, with $\ensuremath{\lambda}=1064\text{ }\text{ }\mathrm{nm}$. The relevance of this result in terms of the existence of a light, neutral, spin-zero particle is discussed.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
