Description

We are searching for the coherent production of light pseudoscalar or scalar particles in a 12-m optical cavity placed in a 5-T transverse magnetic field. From the level of the observed optical rotation we have set a limit on the coupling of such particles to two photons, gaγγ<2.5x10-6 GeV-1, provided ma approx-lt 7x10-4 eV
