Abstract

The connection between finite photon mass and the fieldB(3) is developed with reference to special relativity in the vacuum. The existence of the physical and longitudinal fieldB(3) implies that there are three degrees of polarization associated with the photon, which cannot therefore be a massless boson. The fieldB(3) can be observed experimentally through the magnetization of a plasma with microwave pulses, and this experiment serves to demonstrate unequivocally the existence of photon mass.
