摘要:

电子偶素是研究束缚态QED的理想体系。对正电子偶素衰变率进行了新的精确测量,测量精度为150 ppm,将前三项加在一起的结果为7.0401 +- 0.0007 μ s^-1。这是第一个验证二阶修正的结果。正电子偶素的超精细分裂对QED预言的高阶修正敏感,也对通过量子振荡到虚光子的超越标准模型的新物理敏感。最近发现的测量值和QED预测值之间的差异为3.5 σ(O(α ^3))。这可能是由于新物理学的贡献或以前测量中的系统问题:(非热化Ps和磁场的不均匀性)。我们提出了新的方法来测量HFS精确没有这些不确定性。

英文摘要:

Positronium is an ideal system for the research of the bound state QED. New precise measurement of orthopositronium decay rate has been performed with an accuracy of 150 ppm, and the result combined with the last three is 7.0401 +- 0.0007 mu s^-1. It is the first result to validate the 2nd order correction. The Hyper Fine Splitting of positronium is sensitive to the higher order corrections of the QED prediction and also to the new physics beyond Standard Model via the quantum oscillation into virtual photon. The discrepancy of 3.5 sigma is found recently between the measured values and the QED prediction (O(alpha^3)). It might be due to the contribution of the new physics or the systematic problems in the previous measurements: (non-thermalized Ps and non-uniformity of the magnetic field). We propose new methods to measure HFS precisely without the these uncertainties.
