On the observability of the fieldB (3): Relativistic effects in magneto-optics

Abstract

It is shown that the novel vacuum fieldB (3) is an experimental observable, and several methods of observation are suggested: these include the pulsed microwave magnetization of a plasma, the optical Aharonov-Bohm effect, and the microwave frequency optical Faraday effect. The effect ofB (3) is presented in the form of relativistically corrected semi-classical theory.
