One method of detecting this particle is the "photons through a wall" method in which a laser beam traverses a magnetic dipole field and photons get converted into this type of particle.
One method of detecting this particle is the "photons through a wall" method in which a laser beam traverses a magnetic dipole field and photons get converted into this type of particle. This particle could be produced in stars by an effect in which these particles are converted into photons in the presence of a strong magnetic field perpendicular to their motion. The resulting speed-up of cooling of red giants from the production of these particles via the aforementioned Primakoff effect leads to an upper limit to their coupling, and the same effect is employed in the CAST experiment, which aims to detect these particles from the sun. The prediction of this particle arises from the introduction of a term called the "theta parameter" to the QCD Lagrangian in order to avoid CP violation in strong interactions. For 10 points, name this hypothetical light pseudo-scalar particle predicted by Peccei-Quinn theory, a possible component of cold dark matter.
