Light-shining-through-wall axion detection experiments with a stimulating laser

<p>The collision of two real photons can result in the emission of axions. We investigate the performance of a modified light-shining-through-wall (LSW) axion search aiming to overcome the large signal suppression for axion masses ma &ge; 1 eV. We propose to utilize a third beam to stimula...

description <p>The collision of two real photons can result in the emission of axions. We investigate the performance of a modified light-shining-through-wall (LSW) axion search aiming to overcome the large signal suppression for axion masses ma &ge; 1 eV. We propose to utilize a third beam to stimulate the reconversion of axions into a measurable signal. We thereby find that with currently available high-power laser facilities we expect bounds at axion masses between 0.5&ndash;6 eV reaching ga&gamma;&gamma; &ge; 10&minus;7 GeV&minus;1. Combining the use of optical lasers with currently operating x-ray free electron lasers, we extend the mass range to 10&ndash;100 eV.</p>
