Abstract

In this contribution to EXA2011 congress, we present the status of the BMV (Biréfringence Magnétique du Vide) experiment which is based on the use of a state-of-the-art optical resonant cavity and high pulsed magnetic fields, and it is hosted by the Laboratoire National des Champs Magnétiques Intenses in Toulouse, France.
