用不对称平行板实验寻找变色龙的建议
A Proposed Experimental Search for Chameleons using Asymmetric Parallel Plates
摘要:
与物质耦合的光标量场是暗能量理论和试图解决宇宙学常数问题的常见结果。变色龙屏蔽机制通常被调用,以抑制这些标量介导的第五力,足以避免目前的实验限制,没有微调。通过允许标量的质量随局部密度而变化来动态地抑制力。最近,它已被证明,不久的将来冷原子实验使用原子干涉有能力访问大部分的变色龙参数空间。在这项工作中,我们演示了如何利用不对称平行板的实验可以更深入地推进到变色龙可用的剩余参数空间。
英文摘要:
Light scalar fields coupled to matter are a common consequence of theories of dark energy and attempts to solve the cosmological constant problem. The chameleon screening mechanism is commonly invoked in order to suppress the fifth forces mediated by these scalars, suficiently to avoid current experimental constraints, without fine tuning. The force is suppressed dynamically by allowing the mass of the scalar to vary with the local density. Recently it has been shown that near future cold atoms experiments using atom-interferometry have the ability to access a large proportion of the chameleon parameter space. In this work we demonstrate how experiments utilising asymmetric parallel plates can push deeper into the remaining parameter space available to the chameleon.
