We investigate experimental consequences of the postulate that fundamentally photon propagation is governed by an SU(2) rather than a U(1) gauge principle. In the context of thermodynamics the SU(2) Yang-Mills theory is assumed to be in its deconfining phase. In addition to the results already available, we compute the dispersion law for the longitudinal mode, which does not thermalize with matter, at one-loop accuracy. We analyze radiometric and bolometric methods to detect a gap in the black-body radiation spectra for low frequencies and at low temperatures. We simulate the expected experimental results for total-power and Dicke-switch radiometry. These simulations indicate that the predicted SU(2) signature is measurable with presently available detector technology appealing to both radiometric methods. We also investigate non-homogeneous thermodynamics (thermomagnetic effect) in the adiabatic approximation.
