Large Bulk Matter Search for Fractional Charge Particles
نویسنده
چکیده
We have carried out the largest search for stable particles with fractional electric charge, based on an oil drop method that incorporates a horizontal electric field and upward air flow. No evidence for such particles was found, giving a 95% C.L. upper limit of 1.15 × 10 particles per nucleon on the abundance of fractional charge particles in silicone oil for 0.18e ≤ |Qresidual| ≤ 0.82e.

Search for free fractional electric charge elementary particles using an automated millikan oil drop technique
We have carried out a direct search in bulk matter for free fractional electric charge elementary particles using the largest mass single sample ever studied-about 17.4 mg of silicone oil. The search used an improved and highly automated Millikan oil drop technique. No evidence for fractional charge particles was found. The concentration of particles with fractional charge more than 0. 16e ( e ...
متن کاملEfficient Bulk Search for Fractional Charge with Multiplexed Millikan Chambers
We outline the design of a fully automated Millikan droplet .apparatus that could detect a single free fractional charge in several hundred grams of matter even without the use of a prefilter. This would constitute an improvement over current limits by about five orders of magnitude. The experiment achieves high material throughput and high background rejection through online processing which a...
متن کاملThe Rotor Electrometer : A New Instrument for Bulk Matter Quark
The rotor electrometer is a new instrument which we hope will make possible searches for rare fractionally charged impurities in very large quantities of matter. The ultimate goal of the project is to be able to measure the net charge of 10mg samples of any material to an accuracy of .05 qe in a few minutes (qe is the electron’s charge). This paper reports the achievement of sub-electron (.3 qe...
متن کاملThe Search for Stable , Massive , Elementary Particles ∗
In this paper we review the experimental and observational searches for stable, massive, elementary particles other than the electron and proton. The particles may be neutral, may have unit charge or may have fractional charge. They may interact through the strong, electromagnetic, weak or gravitational forces or through some unknown force. The purpose of this review is to provide a guide for f...
متن کاملSearch for millicharged particles using optically levitated microspheres.
We report results from a search for stable particles with charge ≳10^{-5}e in bulk matter using levitated dielectric microspheres in high vacuum. No evidence for such particles was found in a total sample of 1.4 ng, providing an upper limit on the abundance per nucleon of 2.5×10^{-14} at the 95% confidence level for the material tested. These results provide the first direct search for single p...
