中子寿命之谜

The Puzzle of Neutron Lifetime

Stephan Paul

摘要:

在本文中,我们回顾了中子寿命的作用,并讨论了测量的现状。鉴于迄今为止两个最精确的个体测量所观察到的巨大差异,我们描述了不同的技术,并指出了原则上的优点和缺点。特别是,我们讨论了系统的不确定性及其相关的统计的估计。为了解决目前的难题,许多新的实验正在进行或正在提出。将概述它们对这一领域可能作出的贡献。

英文摘要:

In this paper we review the role of the neutron lifetime and discuss the present status of measurements. In view of the large discrepancy observed by the two most precise individual measurements so far we describe the different techniques and point out principle strengths and weaknesses. In particular we discuss the estimation of systematic uncertainties and its correlation to the statistical ones. In order to solve the present puzzle, many new experiments are either ongoing or being proposed. An overview on their possible contribution to this field will be given.
