A polarisation modulation scheme for measuring vacuum magnetic birefringence with static fields

arXiv:1601.03986 · doi:10.1140/epjc/s10052-016-4139-0

Abstract

A novel polarisation modulation scheme for polarimeters based on Fabry-Perot cavities is presented. The application to the proposed HERA-X experiment aiming to measuring the magnetic birefringence of vacuum with the HERA superconducting magnets is discussed.
