Vacuum Length L (pc) Time Width rms (s) Pulsar ~kpc FWHM ~  s GRB ~ 1-10 Gpc FWHM ~ 10 ms We can improve the sensitivity using femto laser 100 fpc = 3 km FWHM ~ 6 fs Measurements of possible fluctuations of c

The FLOWER Setup Primary pulse COLA (LOMA) Ti:Sapphire Pulsed Laser 10 nJ / pulse  t 0 (rms) ~ 20 fs  (rms) ~ 15 nm Motor stage Diode Non linear crystal Intensity Autocorrelation R C = 1.8 m Concave Mirror M2 Planar Mirror M1 M The length of the cavity can be modified The number of round trips can be modified Input/output Hole

 The number of round trips can be modified  Allow measurements of different vacuum path lengths L vacuum  For a given number of round trips, the length of the cavity can be modified  The systematic due to possible mirror dispersions can be separately measured  We will first validate and calibrate the setup by filling the Herriot cell with a gas  chromatic dispersion  atm, L=50m, =800  15nm) ~ 60 fs       General solution  = k.  / N N = number of round trips R C = 1.8 m Length (m) of the Herriot cell  (rad)   Example with 5 round trips

Preliminary Tests in LOMA Gold metallic concave mirror already available “Ultra high” quality  = 15 cm Preliminar planar mirror  Dedicated high quality mirror with a hole has been purchased Here an example with 11 round trips

Preliminary simulation for 21 round trips and R C = 1.8 m Stable solution for  = 16  /21 and L = 1.56 m By construction: the outgoing beam is similar to the incoming beam With the available gold concave mirror, we can already reach a vacuum path length L vacuum = 2×21×1.56 = 65.5 meters

Flower Phase 1 Herriot cell L cell ~1.55 m  Can reach at least L vacuum = 65 m with 21 round trips Width (rms) of COLA laser pulses ~ 20 fs Accuracy autocorrelation measurement ~ 2 fs (width rms) Expected sensitivity of vacuum fluctuations:  0 ~ 1 fs.m  1/2  0 ~ 0.2 fs.m  1/2 Better than GRB Similar to microburst from Crab pulsar With fastest femto laser: rms ~ 2 fs Improved accuracy of autocorrelation meas. ~ 0.5 fs (150 nm step) Flower Phase 2 This setup allows to measure the dispersion in gas with high accuracy  Test if any discontinuity or discrete properties of the photon propagation in vacuum

Super-Flower Herriot cell L cell ~ 50 m (as CALVA in LAL Orsay) ~ 50 round trips  Can reach L vacuum = 5 km If  0 ~ 50 as.m  1/2, Width (rms) of initial laser pulses  in ~ 2 fs  in ~ 2 fs  vacuum ~ 3.5 fs L vacuum =5 km  out ~ 4 fs

Effet SHADOK Et si on pompait le vide ????

Effet SHADOK s  s  Virtual fermion antifermion pair The idle pulse, circularly polarized +1, moves with a velocity c A pump laser, circularly polarized +1, with ultra high intensity, masks some virtual pairs Number of occupied pairs The idle pulse (circularly polarized +1) will move with a higher velocity c*

Effet SHADOK If the laser spots are focused along 1mm, it should creates an advance of the idle pulse of 1 fs Mercury Livermore (LLNL) 1 PW peak power: 15 J, 15 fs W/cm 2 maximum focused irradiance 10 Hz repetition rate  1  m If focal spot ~ 1  m 2   c/c ~ 3.10  4

 A mechanism has been proposed to give a finite value of the speed of light in agreement with the observed value  This quantum vacuum description gives also the origin of   and    It leads to two experimental predictions  possible fluctuations of the transit time of photons of ~ 50 as.m   a possible advance of a idle pulse of ~ 1 fs after having propagated 1 mm in a ultra high intensity pump laser  Ultra short femto lasers seem to be the ideal tool to perform these tests  Attosecond pulses for FLOWER ? Are FROG/RABBIT able to detect a time broadening of the XUV attosecond pulses ? (see S. De Rossi’s talk for geometric aberrations) CONCLUSIONS
