Using Muonic Hydrogen in Optical Spectroscopy Experiment to Detect Extra Dimensions
نویسندگان
چکیده
Considering that gravitational force might deviate from Newton’s inverse-square law (ISL) and become much stronger in small scale, we propose a kind of optical spectroscopy experiment to detect this possible deviation and take electronic, muonic and tauonic hydrogen atoms as examples. This experiment might be used to indirectly detect the deviation of ISL down to nanometer scale and to explore the possibility of three extra dimensions in ADD’s model, while current direct gravity tests cannot break through micron scale and go beyond two extra dimensions scenario.

Constraints on extra dimensions from precision molecular spectroscopy
Accurate investigations of quantum-level energies inmolecular systems are shown to provide a testing ground to constrain the size of compactified extra dimensions. This ismade possible by recent progress in precisionmetrologywith ultrastable lasers on energy levels in neutralmolecular hydrogen (H2,HD, andD2) andmolecular hydrogen ions (H2 ,HD, andD2 ). Comparisons between experiment and quantum...
متن کاملTheory of Muonic Hydrogen - Muonic Deuterium Isotope Shift
We calculate the corrections of orders α3, α4 and α5 to the Lamb shift of the 1S and 2S energy levels of muonic hydrogen (μp) and muonic deuterium (μd). The nuclear structure effects are taken into account in terms of the proton rp and deuteron rd charge radii for the one-photon interaction and by means of the proton and deuteron electromagnetic form factors in the case of one-loop amplitudes. ...
متن کاملConstraining extra space dimensions using precision molecular spectroscopy
Highly accurate measurements of quantum level energies in molecular systems provide a test ground for new physics, as such effects could manifest themselves as minute shifts in the quantum level structures of atoms and molecules. For the lightest molecular systems, neutral molecular hydrogen (H2, HD and D2) and the molecular hydrogen ions (H + 2 , HD + and D+2 ), weak force effects are several ...
متن کاملPrecision Spectroscopy of Pionic Atoms: from Pion Mass Evaluation to Tests of Chiral Perturbation Theory
Preliminary results of the strong interaction shift and width in pionic hydrogen (πH) using an X-ray spectrometer with spherically bent crystals and CCDs as X-ray detector are presented. In the experiment at the Paul Scherrer Institute three different (np → 1s) transitions in πH were measured. Moreover the pion mass measurement using the (5 → 4) transitions in pionic nitrogen and muonic oxygen ...
متن کاملMaximal Acceleration Corrections to the Lamb Shift of Muonic Hydrogen
The maximal acceleration corrections to the Lamb shift of muonic hydrogen are calculated by using the relativistic Dirac wave functions. The correction for the 2S − 2P transition is ∼ 0.38 meV and is higher than the accuracy of present QED calculations and of the expected accuracy of experiments in preparation.
