第三类隧道
Tunneling of the 3rd kind
摘要:
我们研究了一种新的粒子隧穿势垒的特殊量子场论。在这里,粒子通过分裂成一对不同种类的粒子来穿过屏障,这对粒子与屏障的相互作用非常微弱,因此可以穿过屏障,在屏障后面,这对粒子重新组合成一个原始种类的粒子。作为一个例子,我们讨论的情况下,光子分裂成一对微荷电粒子。这一过程可以在光透过墙的实验中观察到,也可以在实验室实验中用来寻找微荷电粒子。
英文摘要:
We study a new kind of tunneling of particles through a barrier particular to quantum field theory. Here, the particles traverse the barrier by splitting into a virtual pair of particles of a different species which interacts only very weakly with the barrier and can therefore pass through it. Behind the barrier, the pair recombines into a particle of the original species. As an example, we discuss the case where photons split into a pair of minicharged particles. This process could be observed in experiments of the light-shining-through-a-wall type and may be used to search for minicharged particles in laboratory experiments.
