摘要:

对轴子和类轴子粒子的研究可能是解开宇宙中一些最深层谜团的钥匙,比如暗物质和暗能量。在这里,我们使用最近证明的自旋为基础的放大器,以约束这样的假设粒子在动机良好的"轴子窗口“(1 $μ$ eV-1 meV)通过搜索一个奇异的自旋-自旋极化电子和中子自旋之间的相互作用。关键成分是使用超极化的长寿命$^{129}$自旋核作为一个放大器的赝磁场所产生的外来相互作用。利用这种自旋传感器,我们得到了耦合常数$g_p^e g_p^n$乘积的直接上界。基于自旋的放大器技术可以扩展到搜索标准模型之外的各种各样的假设粒子。

英文摘要:

Searches for the axion and axionlike particles may hold the key to unlocking some of the deepest puzzles about our universe, such as dark matter and dark energy. Here we use the recently demonstrated spin-based amplifier to constrain such hypothetical particles within the well-motivated ``axion window'' (1 $μ$eV-1 meV) through searching for an exotic spin-spin interaction between polarized electron and neutron spins. The key ingredient is the use of hyperpolarized long-lived $^{129}$Xe nuclear spins as an amplifier for the pseudomagnetic field generated by the exotic interaction. Using such a spin sensor, we obtain a direct upper bound on the product of coupling constants $g_p^e g_p^n$. The spin-based amplifier technique can be extended to searches for a wide variety of hypothetical particles beyond the Standard Model.
