Dark Matter in the Optical Laboratory
Abstract
Ogluzdin V. E.
In astronomy and cosmology, as well as in theoretical physics, dark matter is a hypothetical form of matter that does not participate in electromagnetic interaction and is therefore inaccessible to direct observation. The non-participation of dark matter in electromagnetic interaction in experimental physics allows the optical laboratory to create a situation in which the presence or absence of dark matter can be established. The aim of this work is to interpret the scattering of laser radiation in a dispersed medium in the case of interference of two intersecting beams. Alternating minima of light intensity in space indicate the absence of an interference pattern of a source of scattered photons, i.e. moving photons, scattered in the region of nodes in the medium. The absence of scattered photons is explained by the transition of laser radiation photons into axions and vice versa with a period equal to the period of the interference pattern. The propagation of axions in the medium occurs without scattering. In fact, at the intensity minima of the intersecting beam - nodes, the axions represent dark matter that does not interact with the environment.
