Measurement of the magnetically-induced QED birefringence of the vacuum and an improved search for laboratory axions [electronic resource] : Technical report. Project definition study of the use of assets and facilities of the Superconducting Super Collider Laboratory.

The Colorado State Collaboration has studied the feasibility of a high sensitivity QED birefringence/axion search measurement. The objective of this work is to measure, for the first time, the birefringence induced in the vacuum on a light beam travelling in a powerful magnetic field. The same exper...
