Phenomenological Aspects of Lee-Wick QED
read the original abstract
We study some phenomenological aspects of Lee-Wick (LW) QED. In particular, we show that LW QED implies charge dequantization and a flavor-dependent LW scale. We study the implications of the Weak Gravity Conjecture (WGC) in LW QED and calculate the modified electric force and potential and use the former to reformulate the WGC in LW QED. We also calculate the photon self-energy and the Uehling potential in LW QED. We show that bounds on milli-charged particles from matter neutrality experiments and from Cavendish-type experiments set stringent limits on the LW scale of fermions and of the photon.

Detectability of Magnetar-Induced Vacuum Birefringence with IXPE and eXTP
Vacuum birefringence time delays from magnetars are an order of magnitude larger than previous estimates and should be quantitatively measurable by IXPE and eXTP, especially for 1RXS J170849.0-400910.
