摘要:

自由中子的β衰变为检验粒子物理学的标准模型以及寻找其扩展提供了几个探针。因此,已经进行了、正在进行或正在准备进行多项研究衰变的实验。这些测量的平均寿命,角相关系数或各种光谱的带电衰变产物(质子和电子)。中子衰变产物动量谱仪NoMoS提出了一种新的动量谱测量方法:它利用$R \times B$漂移效应,使带电粒子在均匀弯曲的磁场中根据动量进行弥散。该谱仪用于精确测量自由中子β衰变中的动量谱和角相关系数,以检验标准模型,并探索新的物理。利用NoMoS,我们的目标是测量电子-反中微子相关系数$a$和Fierz干扰项$b$,最终精度分别为$Δa/a < 0.3\%$和$Δb < 10^{-3}$。在本文中,我们介绍了测量原理,讨论了测量不确定度和系统,并给出了一个状态更新。

英文摘要:

The beta decay of the free neutron provides several probes to test the Standard Model of particle physics as well as to search for extensions thereof. Hence, multiple experiments investigating the decay have already been performed, are under way or are being prepared. These measure the mean lifetime, angular correlation coefficients or various spectra of the charged decay products (proton and electron). NoMoS, the Neutron decay prOducts MOmentum Spectrometer, presents a novel method of momentum spectroscopy: it utilizes the $R \times B$ drift effect to disperse charged particles dependent on their momentum in an uniformly curved magnetic field. This spectrometer is designed to precisely measure momentum spectra and angular correlation coefficients in free neutron beta decay to test the Standard Model and to search for new physics beyond. With NoMoS, we aim to measure inter alia the electron-antineutrino correlation coefficient $a$ and the Fierz interference term $b$ with an ultimate precision of $Δa/a < 0.3\%$ and $Δb < 10^{-3}$ respectively. In this paper, we present the measurement principles, discuss measurement uncertainties and systematics, and give a status update.
