大额外维能解决质子半径之谜吗?

Can Large Extra Dimensions Solve the Proton Radius Puzzle?

Zhigang Li, Xuelei Chen

摘要:

从最近的μ子氢光谱[Antognini et al. 2013; Pohl et al. 2010]中提取的质子电荷半径与CODATA 2010推荐值[Mohr et al. 2012]相差超过4%或$4.4 σ$。这一矛盾被称为“质子半径之谜”,是对粒子物理学标准模型的一个巨大挑战,并引发了近年来量子电动力学计算的大量工作。质子半径之谜可能表明存在一个额外的修正,它扩大了μ子氢的2S-2 P能隙。在这里,我们探讨了大额外维度的可能性,它可以在小尺度上修改牛顿引力,降低2S态的能量,而2 P态几乎不变。我们发现,这种效应可以由四个或更多的大的额外的维度,这是目前的低能物理的限制所允许的。

英文摘要:

The proton charge radius extracted from the recent muonic hydrogen spectroscopy [Antognini et al. 2013; Pohl et al. 2010] differs from the CODATA 2010 recommended value [Mohr et al. 2012] by more than 4% or $4.4 σ$. This discrepancy, dubbed as the "Proton Radius Puzzle", is a big challenge to the Standard Model of particle physics, and has triggered a number of works on the quantum electrodynamic calculations recently. The proton radius puzzle may indicate the presence of an extra correction which enlarges the 2S-2P energy gap in muonic hydrogen. Here we explore the possibility of large extra dimensions which could modify the Newtonian gravity at small scales and lower the 2S state energy while leaving the 2P state nearly unchanged. We find that such effect could be produced by four or more large extra dimensions which are allowed by the current constraints from low energy physics.
