精密μ子物理学

Precision Muon Physics

T. P. Gorringe, D. W. Hertzog

摘要:

μ介子在亚原子物理学中起着独特的作用。对μ介子衰变的研究既确定了总体强度,又建立了弱相互作用的手征结构,同时也为带电轻子味破坏过程设定了非凡的极限。测量μ介子的反常磁矩,对标准模型的完备性和许多推测性理论的预言提供了奇异的灵敏度。μ素和μ子原子的光谱学给出了包括磁矩比$μ_μ/ μ_p$、轻子质量比$m_μ / m_e$和质子电荷半径$r_p$在内的基本量的无与伦比的测定。此外,μ子捕获实验正在探索涉及核子和原子核的弱相互作用的难以捉摸的特征。我们将回顾当代高精度和高灵敏度的μ子实验的实验景观。一个重点是在最近,现在和计划中的实验中实现这种精度和灵敏度的新颖方法和巧妙技术。另一个焦点是这些实验探索的原子、核和粒子物理学中不同寻常的广泛和热门问题。

英文摘要:

The muon is playing a unique role in sub-atomic physics. Studies of muon decay both determine the overall strength and establish the chiral structure of weak interactions, as well as setting extraordinary limits on charged-lepton-flavor-violating processes. Measurements of the muon's anomalous magnetic moment offer singular sensitivity to the completeness of the standard model and the predictions of many speculative theories. Spectroscopy of muonium and muonic atoms gives unmatched determinations of fundamental quantities including the magnetic moment ratio $μ_μ/ μ_p$, lepton mass ratio $m_μ / m_e$, and proton charge radius $r_p$. Also, muon capture experiments are exploring elusive features of weak interactions involving nucleons and nuclei. We will review the experimental landscape of contemporary high-precision and high-sensitivity experiments with muons. One focus is the novel methods and ingenious techniques that achieve such precision and sensitivity in recent, present, and planned experiments. Another focus is the uncommonly broad and topical range of questions in atomic, nuclear and particle physics that such experiments explore.
