用台式中子Ramsey装置寻找新的轻玻色子
A proposed search for new light bosons using a table-top neutron Ramsey apparatus
摘要:
如果存在一种新的轻玻色子,它将在普通费米子(如中子)之间传递一种新的力。一般来说,这样一种新的力是由相关玻色子的康普顿波长$λ_c$和一组无量纲的耦合常数来描述的。对于质量约为$10^-4$ eV的轻玻色子,$λ_c$为毫米量级。在这里,我们提出了一个桌面粒子物理实验,它提供了可能性设置限制的强度与自旋速度耦合的光玻色子的耦合常数。它利用拉姆齐的分离振荡场技术来测量通过大量样品的中子自旋的伪磁效应。
英文摘要:
If a new light boson existed, it would mediate a new force between ordinary fermions, like neutrons. In general such a new force is described by the Compton wavelength $λ_c$ of the associated boson and a set of dimensionless coupling constants. For light boson masses of about $10^-4$ eV, $λ_c$ is of the order millimeters. Here, we propose a table-top particle physics experiment which provides the possibility to set limits on the strength of the coupling constants of light bosons with spin-velocity coupling. It utilises Ramsey's technique of separated oscillating fields to measure the pseudo-magnetic effect on neutron spins passing by a massive sample.
