Keywords:dressed photon, Klein-Gordon equation, Clebsch dual

We are going to talk about new aspects of Clebsch dual field (CDF) as a new model of dressed photon explained in our previous presentation. The basic equation describing CDF is a spacelike Klein-Gordon having a certain constant. We discuss a possibility that it is a universal constant like Planck constant, namely, a possibility of the existence of dressed photon constant. Due to its spacelike characteristics, CDF is shown to behave like controversial dark energy discussed in cosmology. By employing simple scale analyses, we show that the ground state of Clebsch photon exhibits a feature comparable to the cosmological term responsible for the accelerated expansion of the universe, so that the dynamics of dressed photon may play an important role over quite a wide scale range in nature. Understanding CDF from the viewpoint of conformal field theory is briefly discussed for further studies.
