通过一类新的专用以太漂移实验进行精确度测试
Precision tests with a new class of dedicated ether-drift experiments
摘要:
原则上,通过接受非零真空能量的概念,当前粒子物理学的物理真空可能代表一个优选的参考系。通过将这种量子真空视为相对论性介质,在运动坐标系中预期的非零能量-动量流应该有效地表现为小的热梯度,并且原则上可以在松散束缚的气体系统中诱导可测量的光速各向异性。我们探讨这种情况下的现象学影响,考虑一类新的专用以太漂移实验,任意气体介质填充谐振光学腔。我们的预测涵盖了大多数实验设置,并应激励这些基本问题的精确实验测试。
英文摘要:
In principle, by accepting the idea of a non-zero vacuum energy, the physical vacuum of present particle physics might represent a preferred reference frame. By treating this quantum vacuum as a relativistic medium, the non-zero energy-momentum flow expected in a moving frame should effectively behave as a small thermal gradient and could, in principle, induce a measurable anisotropy of the speed of light in a loosely bound system as a gas. We explore the phenomenological implications of this scenario by considering a new class of dedicated ether-drift experiments where arbitrary gaseous media fill the resonating optical cavities. Our predictions cover most experimental set up and should motivate precise experimental tests of these fundamental issues.
