Light-by-Light Scattering Constraint on Born-Infeld Theory
The recent measurement by ATLAS of light-by-light scattering in LHC Pb-Pb collisions is the first direct evidence for this basic process. We find that it excludes a range of the mass scale of a nonlinear Born-Infeld extension of QED that is ≲100 GeV, a much stronger constraint than those derived pr...

| description | The recent measurement by ATLAS of light-by-light scattering in LHC Pb-Pb collisions is the first direct evidence for this basic process. We find that it excludes a range of the mass scale of a nonlinear Born-Infeld extension of QED that is ≲100 GeV, a much stronger constraint than those derived previously. In the case of a Born-Infeld extension of the standard model in which the U(1)Y hypercharge gauge symmetry is realized nonlinearly, the limit on the corresponding mass reach is ∼90 GeV, which, in turn, imposes a lower limit of ≳11 TeV on the magnetic monopole mass in such a U(1)Y Born-Infeld theory. |

We find that it requires the mass scale of a nonlinear Born-Infeld extension of QED to be $\gtrsim 100$~GeV, a much stronger constraint than those derived previously. In the case of a Born-Infeld extension of the Standard Model in which the U(1)$_{\rm Y}$ hypercharge gauge symmetry is realized nonlinearly, the limit on the corresponding mass scale is $\gtrsim 90$~GeV, which in turn imposes a lower limit of $\gtrsim 11$~TeV on the magnetic monopole mass in such a U(1)$_{\rm Y}$ Born-Infeld theory.CAVENDISH-HEP-17-04DAMTP-2017-12KCL-PH-TH-2017-11CERN-TH-2017-062arXiv:1703.08450oai:cds.cern.ch:22607182017-03-24 |
