New constraints on very light pseudoscalars

Cosmology and Nongalactic Astrophysics 2012-05-01 v1

Abstract

Nearly massless axion-like particles are of interest for astrophysical observations, and some constraints on their parameter space do exist in the literature. Here, we propose to put new constraints on these particles using polarisation and, in particular, the polarisation differences observed between different quasar classes.
