We present the current status of the BMV experiment. Our apparatus is based on an up-to-date resonant optical cavity coupled to a transverse magnetic field. We detail our data acquisition and analysis procedure which takes into account the symmetry properties of the raw data with respect to the orientation of the magnetic field and the sign of the cavity birefringence. The measurement result of the vacuum magnetic linear birefringence k_mathrm{CM}$ presented in this paper was obtained with about 200 magnetic pulses and a maximum field of 6.5,T, giving a noise floor of about $8 times 10^{-21}$,T$^{-2}$ at $3sigma$ confidence level.

QED vacuum can be polarized and magnetized by an external electromagnetic field, therefore acting as a birefringent medium. This effect has not yet been measured. In this paper, after having recalled the main facts concerning Vacuum Magnetic Birefrin
gence polarimetry detection method and the related noise sources, we detail our Monte Carlo simulation of a pulsed magnetic field data run. Our Monte Carlo results are optimized to match BMV experiment 2014 data. We show that our Monte Carlo approach can reproduce experimental results giving an important insight to the systematic effects limiting experiment sensitivity.
A new experiment to measure vacuum magnetic birefringence (VMB), the OVAL experiment, is reported. We developed an original pulsed magnet that has a high repetition rate and applies the strongest magnetic field among VMB experiments. The vibration is
olation design and feedback system enable the direct combination of the magnet with a Fabry-Perot cavity. To ensure the searching potential, a calibration measurement with dilute nitrogen gas and a prototype search for vacuum magnetic birefringence are performed. Based on the results, a strategy to observe vacuum magnetic birefringence is reported.
This paper describes the 25 year effort to measure vacuum magnetic birefringence and dichroism with the PVLAS experiment. The experiment went through two main phases: the first using a rotating superconducting magnet and the second using two rotating
permanent magnets. The experiment was not able to reach the predicted value from QED. Nonetheless the experiment set the current best limits on vacuum magnetic birefringence and dichroism for a field of $B_{rm ext} = 2.5$ T, namely, $Delta n^{rm (PVLAS)} = (12pm17)times10^{-23}$ and $|Deltakappa|^{rm (PVLAS)} = (10pm28)times10^{-23}$. The uncertainty on $Delta n^{rm (PVLAS)}$ is about a factor 7 above the predicted value of $Delta n^{rm (QED)} = 2.5times10^{-23}$ @ 2.5 T.
The PVLAS collaboration is presently assembling a new apparatus (at the INFN section of Ferrara, Italy) to detect vacuum magnetic birefringence (VMB). VMB is related to the structure of the QED vacuum and is predicted by the Euler-Heisenberg-Weisskop
f effective Lagrangian. It can be detected by measuring the ellipticity acquired by a linearly polarised light beam propagating through a strong magnetic field. Using the very same optical technique it is also possible to search for hypothetical low-mass particles interacting with two photons, such as axion-like (ALP) or millicharged particles (MCP). Here we report results of a scaled-down test setup and describe the new PVLAS apparatus. This latter one is in construction and is based on a high-sensitivity ellipsometer with a high-finesse Fabry-Perot cavity ($>4times 10^5$) and two 0.8 m long 2.5 T rotating permanent dipole magnets. Measurements with the test setup have improved by a factor 2 the previous upper bound on the parameter $A_e$, which determines the strength of the nonlinear terms in the QED Lagrangian: $A_e^{rm (PVLAS)} < 3.3 times 10^{-21}$ T$^{-2}$ 95% c.l. Furthermore, new laboratory limits have been put on the inverse coupling constant of ALPs to two photons and confirmation of previous limits on the fractional charge of millicharged particles is given.
We present the current status and outlook of the optical characterization of the polarimeter at the Bir{e}fringence Magnetique du Vide (BMV) experiment. BMV is a polarimetric search for the QED predicted anisotropy of vacuum in the presence of extern
al electromagnetic fields. The main challenge faced in this fundamental test is the measurement of polarization ellipticity on the order of ${10^{-15}}$ induced in linearly polarized laser field per pass through a magnetic field having an amplitude and length ${B^{2}L=100,mathrm{T}^{2}mathrm{m}}$. This challenge is addressed by understanding the noise sources in precision cavity-enhanced polarimetry. In this paper we discuss the first investigation of dynamical birefringence in the signal-enhancing cavity as a result of cavity mirror motion.
