Dual Scalar Aharonov-Bohm Effect and the Photon Mass

Abstract:

In this paper the dual scalar Aharonov-Bohm effect is explored in the context of massive electrodynamics. Specifically, the phase shift of a package of neutral particles with magnetic dipole moment (neutrons) is obtained in the presence of an internal magnetic field pulse from an infinite solenoid calculated with Proca’s equations. The phase correction introduced for the Proca equations is compared with the experimental precision and a limit of the order of 2 × 10−44g is obtained for the photon mass.
