约束Wellton模型中精细结构常数的空间变化

Constraining spatial variations of the fine-structure constant in symmetron models

A. M. M. Pinho, M. Martinelli, C. J. A. P. Martins

摘要:

我们介绍了一种方法来测试模型的精细结构常数$α$的空间变化,这些测量的角功率谱的计算的基础上。这种方法能够通过对$α$变化统计的预测来比较观测和理论模型。在这里,我们将其应用于双曲模型的情况。我们没有发现偏离标准行为的迹象,目前的数据提供了一个上限的强度耦合到重力($\log{β^2}<-0.9$)时,这是唯一的自由参数,并不能约束模型时,对称性破缺的比例因子$a_{SSB}$是自由变化的。

英文摘要:

We introduce a methodology to test models with spatial variations of the fine-structure constant $α$, based on the calculation of the angular power spectrum of these measurements. This methodology enables comparisons of observations and theoretical models through their predictions on the statistics of the $α$ variation. Here we apply it to the case of symmetron models. We find no indications of deviations from the standard behavior, with current data providing an upper limit to the strength of the symmetron coupling to gravity ($\log{β^2}<-0.9$) when this is the only free parameter, and not able to constrain the model when also the symmetry breaking scale factor $a_{SSB}$ is free to vary.
