Abstract
PVLAS is an experiment which aims at the direct detection of photon-field scattering: it employs optical methods and a large rotating superconducting magnet, and its large, compact structure is affected by both mechanical and electrical noises. This paper introduces briefly the data analysis methods used in the experiment and summarizes the mechanical and electrical noise situation.
