  Monday, March 2 - 4.30 pm
  Quantum ghosts and optical resonators (I)

  Axions and other exotic particles which couple to photons have an 
uncanny
  quantum behaviour in optical resonators that can be utilized in 
experimental
  searches. In this talk I’ll give a broad review of the status of these 
searches
  in PVLAS and other experiments.

  Monday, March 9 - 4.30 pm
  Quantum ghosts and optical resonators (II)

  In this second talk I’ll give a detailed review of the quantum 
mechanics and
  mathematics of Axion propagation in Fabry-Perot resonators like those 
used
  in the highly sensitive ellipsometer of the PVLAS experiment.
