新物理学与质子半径问题

New Physics and the Proton Radius Problem

Carl E. Carlson, Benjamin C. Rislow

摘要:

背景资料:最近从μ子和电子氢的兰姆位移测量中提取的质子电荷半径之间的分歧引发了新物理学可能受到指责的猜测。已经提出了几种新的粒子,可以解释兰姆位移和μ子反常矩的差异。目的:我们探索新粒子与μ子的耦合可以被微调以考虑所有实验约束的可能性。方法:我们考虑两个微调模型,第一个涉及新粒子的标量和赝标量耦合,第二个涉及新粒子的矢量和轴向耦合。耦合约束的兰姆位移和μ子磁矩的测量,而质量的约束得到的K介子衰变率数据。结果:对于标量-赝标量模型,不允许100至200 MeV之间的质量。对于矢量模型,不允许低于约200 MeV的质量。这两种模型的耦合强度接近电动力学的粒子质量约为2 GeV。结论:新的物理与微调耦合可能被视为一个可能的解释兰姆位移的差异。

英文摘要:

Background: The recent disagreement between the proton charge radius extracted from Lamb shift measurements of muonic and electronic hydrogen invites speculation that new physics may be to blame. Several proposals have been made for new particles that account for both the Lamb shift and the muon anomalous moment discrepancies. Purpose: We explore the possibility that new particles' couplings to the muon can be fine-tuned to account for all experimental constraints. Method: We consider two fine-tuned models, the first involving new particles with scalar and pseudoscalar couplings, and the second involving new particles with vector and axial couplings. The couplings are constrained by the Lamb shift and muon magnetic moments measurements while mass constraints are obtained by kaon decay rate data. Results: For the scalar-pseudoscalar model, masses between 100 to 200 MeV are not allowed. For the vector model, masses below about 200 MeV are not allowed. The strength of the couplings for both models approach that of electrodynamics for particle masses of about 2 GeV. Conclusions: New physics with fine tuned couplings may be entertained as a possible explanation for the Lamb shift discrepancy.
