Abstract: (AIP)

A solution in terms of nearly massless axion‐like particles has been proposed in the literature and its current status is discussed.

Note:

Replaced because of a previously badly displayed caption. Contributed to "Axions 2010", Gainesville (FL), January 15-17 2010. To be published in AIP conference series. 6 pages
