Abstract

In astronomy and cosmology, as well as in theoretical physics, dark matter is a hypothetical form of matter that does not participate in electromagnetic interaction and is therefore inaccessible to direct observation. The non-participation of dark matter in electromagnetic interaction in experimental physics allows the optical laboratory to create a situation in which the presence or absence of dark matter can be established. The aim of this work is to interpret the scattering of laser radiation in a dispersed medium in the case of interference of two intersecting beams. Alternating minima of light intensity in the area of intersection of two laser beams in the case of interference indicate the periodic absence of a source of Rayleigh scattering, i.e., moving photons elastically reflected by the nuclei of air medium atoms. The absence of scattered photons is explained by the transition of laser radiation photons into axions and back with a period equal to the period of the interference pattern. The propagation of axions in the medium occurs without scattering.
