Closing a Window for Massive Photons
Working with the assumption of nonzero photon mass and a trajectory that is described by the nongeodesic world line of a spinning top we find, by deriving new astrophysical bounds, that this assumption is in contradiction with current experimental results. This yields the conclusion that such photon...

| description | Working with the assumption of nonzero photon mass and a trajectory that
is described by the nongeodesic world line of a spinning top we find, by deriving
new astrophysical bounds, that this assumption is in contradiction with
current experimental results. This yields the conclusion that such photons
have to be exactly massless. |
