Abstract
We investigate long-range intensity correlations on both sides of the Anderson transition of classical waves in a three-dimensional disordered material. Our ultrasonic experiments are designed to unambiguously detect a recently predicted infinite-range contribution, due to local density of states fluctuations near the source. We find that these correlations, in addition to and contributions, are significantly enhanced near mobility edges. Separate measurements of the inverse participation ratio reveal a link between and the anomalous dimension , implying that may also be used to explore the critical regime of the Anderson transition.
