Abstract
It is shown that the novel vacuum field B-(3) is an experimental obser vable, and several methods of observation are suggested: these include the pulsed microwave magnetization of a plasma, the optical Aharonov- Bohm effect, and the microwave frequency optical Faraday effect. The e ffect of B-(3) is presented in the form of relativistically corrected semi-classical theory.
