Abstract: | The effect of massless Nambu-Goldstone bosons (massless axions) on the appearance of striking feature in QSO polarized light is suggested. This feature can be appeared in a result of resonance magnetic conversion of photons into massless axions. The resonance magnetic conversion can take place for mixture of electron plasma and neutral hydrogen gas into a magnetic field in the regions of Damped Ly- systems. The QSOs with a noticeable Faraday rotation measures should be suitable targets for polarimetric observations. |
