来自耀变体光谱的类轴子粒子的证据?

Evidence for an axion-like particle from blazar spectra?

Marco Roncadelli, Alessandro De Angelis, Giorgio Galanti, Massimo Persic

摘要:

用成像大气切伦科夫望远镜H.E.S.S.观测,MAGIC、CANGAROO III和VERITAS已经表明,宇宙对100 GeV以上的伽马射线比预期的要透明。作为一种自然的解释,DARMA方案以前已经提出,其中光子可以振荡成一个新的非常轻的轴子状粒子,反之亦然,在宇宙磁场的存在。在这里,我们证明了最新的观测结果进一步支持DARMA方案,从而使一个非常轻的轴子状粒子的存在更有可能。

英文摘要:

Observations with the Imaging Atmospheric Cherenkov Telescopes H.E.S.S., MAGIC, CANGAROO III and VERITAS have shown that the Universe is more transparent than expected to gamma rays above 100GeV. As a natural explanation, the DARMA scenario has previously been proposed, wherein photons can oscillate into a new very light axionlike particle and vice-versa in the presence of cosmic magnetic fields. Here we demonstrate that the most recent observations further support the DARMA scenario, thereby making the existence of a very light axion-like particle more likely.
