The scharnhorst effect: Superluminality and causality in effective field theories
by de Clark, Sybil Gertrude, Ph.D., The University of Arizona, 2016, 415; 10247716
Abstract (Summary)
We present two re-derivations of the Scharnhorst effect. The latter was first obtained in 1990 by Klaus Scharnhorst, soon followed by Gabriel Barton, and consists in the theoretical prediction that the phase velocity of photons propagating in a Casimir vacuum normal to the plates would be larger than c.
