GammeV - a gamma to milli-eV particle search
William Wester, Fermilab
Note: Refreshments served at 3:15 pm
The GammeV experiment uses a high-power laser and an accelerator magnet for photons to potentially oscillate into new milli-eV mass astroparticles. I will describe how I spent my summer vacation to set interesting limits for these new class of particles.
