summary summary

axion axion search not just a shot in the dark now!! search not just a shot in the dark now!!

– – PVLAS result can be tested; new data point from PVLAS result can be tested; new data point from LIPSS LIPSS

can perform regeneration experiment to test can perform regeneration experiment to test PVLAS result at JLAB FEL PVLAS result at JLAB FEL

– – can reach interesting region of parameter space with can reach interesting region of parameter space with IR FEL IR FEL – – can perform definitive experiment with UV FEL can perform definitive experiment with UV FEL

this is particle physics at the FEL this is particle physics at the FEL

– – constraints on a new mass scale in particle physics constraints on a new mass scale in particle physics
