携带非零轨道粒子的高能物理学angular momentum

High-energy physics with particles carrying non-zero orbital angular momentum

I. P. Ivanov

摘要:

由于光学在过去二十年中的进步,有可能产生携带明确定义的非零轨道角动量(OAM)的光子。将这些光子提升到高能量范围以保持其OAM似乎是可行的。最近还产生了具有OAM的中能电子。因此,人们可以将OAM视为高能碰撞中的一种新的自由度,并询问它可以带来什么关于粒子结构和相互作用的新见解。在这里,我们讨论的散射过程中涉及粒子的OAM在初始状态的一般功能。我们表明,它们使得有可能进行傅立叶分析的平面波的截面相对于初始粒子的方位角,并探测振幅的自相关函数,在平面波碰撞无法访问的量。

英文摘要:

Thanks to progress in optics in the past two decades, it is possible to create photons carrying well-defined non-zero orbital angular momentum (OAM). Boosting these photons into high-energy range preserving their OAM seems feasible. Intermediate energy electrons with OAM have also been produced recently. One can, therefore, view OAM as a new degree of freedom in high-energy collisions and ask what novel insights into particles' structure and interactions it can bring. Here we discuss generic features of scattering processes involving particles with OAM in the initial state. We show that they make it possible to perform a Fourier analysis of a plane wave cross section with respect to the azimuthal angles of the initial particles, and to probe the autocorrelation function of the amplitude, a quantity inaccessible in plane wave collisions.
