电子在IceCube的衰变

Electron decay at IceCube

Morgan H. Lynch

摘要:

本文应用加速量子动力学(AQD)方法研究了冰中高度相对论电子的辐射阻止。我们计算出电子的加速度分布以及它衰变成μ子的寿命。给出了发射μ子的普朗克谱及其广义位移定律,并用于量化μ子的性质。结果预测在冰立方能量的加速诱导的电子衰变。在冰立方的电子衰变的信号表现为一个多余的轨道拓扑结构的能量窗口实验访问。这种设置有可能探测Unruh效应以及研究宇宙线中微子的味道含量。

英文摘要:

In this paper we apply the formalism of Accelerated Quantum Dynamics (AQD) to the radiative stopping of highly relativistic electrons in ice. We compute the acceleration profile of the electron along with its lifetime to decay into a muon. The Planckian spectrum of the emitted muon along with the its generalized displacement law are presented and used to quantify the muons properties. The results predict the acceleration-induced decay of electrons at IceCube energies. The signal of electron decay at IceCube manifests itself as an excess of track topologies in an energy window accessible experimentally. This setting has the potential to probe the Unruh effect as well investigate the flavor content of cosmic ray neutrinos.
