在美因茨微加速器上寻找暗区的轻规范玻色子
Search for Light Gauge Bosons of the Dark Sector at the Mainz Microtron
摘要:
在美因茨微波加速器上,A1协作组确定了一个新的排斥极限,用于研究衰变为e^+e^-的轻U(1)规范玻色子γ'的电磁产生。这种轻规范玻色子出现在标准模型的几个扩展中,也被讨论为暗物质与标准模型物质相互作用的候选者。在重核的电子散射中,在轻子对质量为210 MeV/c^2 < m_e^+e^- < 300 MeV/c^2的范围内,与e^+ e^-的窄态耦合的现有极限降低了近一个数量级。这个实验展示了高电流和高分辨率固定目标实验的潜力,用于寻找超越标准模型的物理学。
英文摘要:
A new exclusion limit for the electromagnetic production of a light U(1) gauge boson γ' decaying to e^+e^- was determined by the A1 Collaboration at the Mainz Microtron. Such light gauge bosons appear in several extensions of the standard model and are also discussed as candidates for the interaction of dark matter with standard model matter. In electron scattering from a heavy nucleus, the existing limits for a narrow state coupling to e^+e^- were reduced by nearly an order of magnitude in the range of the lepton pair mass of 210 MeV/c^2 < m_e^+e^- < 300 MeV/c^2. This experiment demonstrates the potential of high current and high resolution fixed target experiments for the search for physics beyond the standard model.
