AI总结:

摘要:

理解物理机制依赖于对基本常数的精准测定,尽管实验技术的固有局限性会给这些测量带来不确定性。本文探究了利用观测到的快速射电暴(FRBs)测量精细结构常数($α$)和质子电子质量比($μ$)时的相关不确定性。我们选取了50个已定位的FRBs,以量化这一基本耦合常数的变化对色散量与红移之间关系的影响。通过利用这些FRBs的色散量和红移的独立测量结果,我们在标准$Λ$CDM宇宙学框架内,将$α$和$μ$的不确定性分别约束在约$Δα/α=1.99\times 10^{-5}$和$Δμ/μ=-1.00\times 10^{-5}$。值得注意的是,当考虑动力学暗能量模型时,这些约束精度提升了近一个数量级。本研究不仅给出了迄今为止对$α$和$μ$最严格的约束之一,还强调了在制定基本参数约束时考虑系统能量标度的关键性。

英文摘要:

Understanding physical mechanisms relies on the accurate determination of fundamental constants, although inherent limitations in experimental techniques introduce uncertainties into these measurements. This paper explores the uncertainties associated with measuring the fine-structure constant ($α$) and the proton-to-electron mass ratio ($μ$) using observed fast radio bursts (FRBs). We select 50 localized FRBs to quantify the effects of varying this fundamental coupling on the relation between dispersion measure and redshift. By leveraging independent measurements of dispersion measures and redshifts of these FRBs, we constrain the uncertainties in $α$ and $μ$ approximately to $Δα/α=1.99\times 10^{-5}$ and $Δμ/μ=-1.00\times 10^{-5}$ within the standard $Λ$CDM cosmological framework. Remarkably, these constraints improve nearly an order-of-magnitude when considering a dynamical dark energy model. This investigation not only yields one of the most stringent constraints on $α$ and $μ$ to date but also emphasizes the criticality of accounting for the energy scale of the system when formulating constraints on fundamental parameters.
