$\tau^+\tau^-$ 产生中的量子纠缠为相对论量子系统中的非经典自旋关联提供了直接探针，其中 $\tau$ 衰变产物充当自旋分析器。我们研究了在 Super Tau-Charm 装置（STCF）上、质心能量 $\sqrt{s}=7$ GeV 的 $e^+e^-\to\tau^+\tau^-$ 过程中此类测量的探测器级可行性，使用了 $\rho\rho$ 和 $\pi\rho$ 衰变道。信号和主要本底过程均通过完整的 STCF 探测器和重建框架进行了模拟。专门的重建和事例选择程序给出的总体信号效率约为 $4.5\\%$ 和 $4.8\\%$，对应的纯度分别约为 $87.6\\%$ 和 $93.2\\%$，分别针对 $\rho\rho$ 和 $\pi\rho$ 道。根据重建的衰变运动学，推断出 $\tau^+\tau^-$ 自旋密度矩阵，并在选定的 fiducial 区域内评估了并发度 $C[\rho]$ 以及贝尔敏感量 $m_{12}[C]$。对于基准要求 $|\cos\theta|<0.2$ 和积分亮度 $1~\mathrm{ab}^{-1}$，两个道中 $C[\rho]$ 的预期相对精度约为 $2.2\\%$，而 $m_{12}[C]$ 的精度在 $\rho\rho$ 道约为 $1.4\\%$，在 $\pi\rho$ 道约为 $1.5\\%$，其中包含了统计和探测器分辨率不确定性。重建的 $m_{12}[C]$ 在 $\rho\rho$ 道中与其参考阈值显示出更大的分离，使得该拓扑对贝尔型自旋关联特别敏感。这些结果证明了在 STCF 上通过强子 $\tau$ 衰变探测量子纠缠和非经典自旋关联的探测器级可行性。
英文摘要
Quantum entanglement in $τ^+τ^-$ production provides a direct probe of non-classical spin correlations in a relativistic quantum system, with the $τ$ decay products serving as spin analyzers. We investigate the detector-level feasibility of such measurements in $e^+e^-\toτ^+τ^-$ at the Super Tau-Charm Facility (STCF) at $\sqrt{s}=7$ GeV, using the $ρρ$ and $πρ$ decay channels. Signal and dominant background processes are simulated with the full STCF detector and reconstruction framework. Dedicated reconstruction and event-selection procedures yield overall signal efficiencies of approximately $4.5\%$ and $4.8\%$, with corresponding purities of about $87.6\%$ and $93.2\%$ for the $ρρ$ and $πρ$ channels, respectively. From the reconstructed decay kinematics, the $τ^+τ^-$ spin-density matrix is inferred and the concurrence $C[ρ]$ together with the Bell-sensitive quantity $m_{12}[C]$ are evaluated in a selected fiducial region. For the benchmark requirement $|\cosθ|<0.2$ and an integrated luminosity of $1~\mathrm{ab}^{-1}$, the projected relative precision on $C[ρ]$ is about $2.2\%$ in both channels, while that on $m_{12}[C]$ is approximately $1.4\%$ for $ρρ$ and $1.5\%$ for $πρ$, including statistical and detector-resolution uncertainties. The reconstructed $m_{12}[C]$ shows a larger separation from its reference threshold in the $ρρ$ channel, making this topology particularly sensitive to Bell-type spin correlations. These results demonstrate the detector-level feasibility of probing quantum entanglement and non-classical spin correlations in hadronic $τ$ decays at STCF.
