摘要:

最近人们注意到一些银河系超新星和超新星遗迹的γ射线的Fermi-LAT数据显示了光谱调制,这可能是由于在银河系磁场存在下,常规的类轴子(axion-like particle,ALP)与光子的耦合导致光子向ALP的转换。然而,相应的ALP质量和耦合与CAST,SN 1987 A和其他伽马射线观测的观测约束处于严重的紧张状态。受此启发,我们研究了另一种可能性,即当假设非零背景暗光子规范场时,这些光谱调制可以用其他类型的ALP耦合来解释,其中包括普通光子和无质量暗光子。我们发现,我们的计划的结果之间的光子,ALP,和暗光子,这可以解释的伽玛射线光谱调制的银河系恒星或超新星遗迹,同时满足已知的观测约束。

英文摘要:

Recently it has been noticed that the Fermi-LAT data of gamma-rays from some galactic pulsars and supernova remnants reveal spectral modulations that might be explained by the conversion of photons to ALPs (axion-like particles) induced by the conventional ALP coupling to photon in the presence of galactic magnetic fields. However the corresponding ALP mass and coupling are in a severe tension with the observational constraints from CAST, SN1987A, and other gamma-ray observations. Motivated by this, we examine an alternative possibility that those spectral modulations are explained by other type of ALP coupling involving both the ordinary photon and a massless dark photon, when nonzero background dark photon gauge fields are assumed. We find that our scheme results in oscillations among the photon, ALP, and dark photon, which can explain the gamma-ray spectral modulations of galactic pulsars or supernova remnants, while satisfying the known observational constraints.
