对中子电偶极矩的探索
The quest for an electric dipole moment of the neutron
摘要:
直到今天,还没有观察到中子的电偶极矩(nEDM)。为什么它如此小,在过去的50年里没有被发现,这并不容易解释。一般来说,它被认为是破坏电荷和宇称组合对称性(CP)的最敏感的探针。这一发现可能会揭示人们对宇宙中物质/反物质不对称性知之甚少的问题。作为核子,它可能有一天有助于区分CP破坏的不同来源,并结合电子和抗磁EDM的测量。这篇论文提出了一个最重要的概念,在寻找一个nEDM的概述,并提出了一个全球范围内的努力的简要概述。
英文摘要:
Until this day no electric dipole moment of the neutron (nEDM) has been observed. Why it is so vanishing small, escaping detection in the last 50 years, is not easy to explain. In general it is considered as the most sensitive probe for the violation of the combined symmetry of charge and parity (CP). A discovery could shed light on the poorly understood matter/anti-matter asymmetry of the universe. As nucleon it might one day help to distinguish different sources of CP-violation in combination with measurements of the electron and diamagnetic EDMs. This proceedings articles presents an overview of the most important concepts in searches for an nEDM and presents a brief overview of the world wide efforts.
