在实验室超冷中子实验中寻找中子镜中子振荡
Search for neutron - mirror neutron oscillations in a laboratory experiment with ultracold neutrons
摘要:
镜像物质被认为是暗物质的候选者。与此相关的是,利用超冷中子在不同磁场阱中的储存,进行了中子-镜像中子(nn ')跃迁的实验研究。结果得到了中子镜中子振荡时间的新极限,τ_osc >= 448 s(90% C.L.),假设没有大于100 nT的镜像磁场。此外,还首次尝试对镜像磁场进行了限制。
英文摘要:
Mirror matter is considered as a candidate for dark matter. In connection with this an experimental search for neutron - mirror neutron (nn') transitions has been carried out using storage of ultracold neutrons in a trap with different magnetic fields. As a result, a new limit for the neutron - mirror neutron oscillation time has been obtained, tau_osc >= 448 s (90% C.L.), assuming that there is no mirror magnetic field larger than 100 nT. Besides a first attempt to obtain some restriction for mirror magnetic field has been done.
