摘要:

利用1489个活日或$2.45 \times 10^{34}$中子年暴露数据,在超级神冈进行了中子-反中子($n-\bar{n}$)振荡的搜索。这个过程违反了重子和重子减轻子数的两个单位的绝对值,并且被一大类假设模型预测,其中包含了跷跷板机制来解释观测到的微小中微子质量和宇宙中的物质-反物质不对称性。没有发现$n-\bar{n}$振荡的证据,在一项包括所有实验不确定性的重要来源的分析中,在90%的置信水平下,被束缚在${}^{16}$ O中的中子寿命的下限被确定为$1.9 \times 10^{32}$ ~年。利用核抑制因子$0.517 \times 10^{23}$ ~s $^{-1}$的理论值及其不确定度,计算出相应的自由中子振荡时间下限为$2.7 \times 10^8$ ~s。

英文摘要:

A search for neutron-antineutron ($n-\bar{n}$) oscillation was undertaken in Super-Kamiokande using the 1489 live-day or $2.45 \times 10^{34}$ neutron-year exposure data. This process violates both baryon and baryon minus lepton numbers by an absolute value of two units and is predicted by a large class of hypothetical models where the seesaw mechanism is incorporated to explain the observed tiny neutrino masses and the matter-antimatter asymmetry in the Universe. No evidence for $n-\bar{n}$ oscillation was found, the lower limit of the lifetime for neutrons bound in ${}^{16}$O, in an analysis that included all of the significant sources of experimental uncertainties, was determined to be $1.9 \times 10^{32}$~years at the 90\% confidence level. The corresponding lower limit for the oscillation time of free neutrons was calculated to be $2.7 \times 10^8$~s using a theoretical value of the nuclear suppression factor of $0.517 \times 10^{23}$~s$^{-1}$ and its uncertainty.
