Will DESY produce axions?

This is not a real article, just a link to another

about the plans of DESY to produce dark matter assuming that dark matter is composed of axions. This experimental axion stuff, outlined more accurately in the paper by Andreas Ringwald, Ulrich Koetz, and Thomas Tschentscher (why can't he write Čenčer?)

is also related to the magneto-optical experiments done by the PVLAS collaboration that we described in March. Both teams are clearly excited by the same possibility.

Thanks to Klaus Lange for having pointed out the physweb.org article. The German week is now over.
