Test of the Pauli Exclusion Principle in the VIP-2 Underground Experiment
نویسندگان
چکیده
The validity of the Pauli exclusion principle—a building block of Quantum Mechanics—is tested for electrons. The VIP (violation of Pauli exclusion principle) and its follow-up VIP-2 experiments at the Laboratori Nazionali del Gran Sasso search for X-rays from copper atomic transitions that are prohibited by the Pauli exclusion principle. The candidate events—if they exist—originate from the transition of a 2p orbit electron to the ground state which is already occupied by two electrons. The present limit on the probability for Pauli exclusion principle violation for electrons set by the VIP experiment is 4.7 ×10−29. We report a first result from the VIP-2 experiment Entropy 2017, 19, 300; doi:10.3390/e19070300 www.mdpi.com/journal/entropy Entropy 2017, 19, 300 2 of 8 improving on the VIP limit, which solidifies the final goal of achieving a two orders of magnitude gain in the long run.

Vip: an Experiment to Search for a Violation of the Pauli
The Pauli Exclusion Principle is a basic principle of Quantum Mechanics, and its validity has never been seriously challenged. However, given its fundamental standing, it is very important to check it as thoroughly as possible. Here we describe the VIP (VIolation of the Pauli exclusion principle) experiment, an improved version of the Ramberg and Snow experiment (E. Ramberg and G. Snow, Phys. L...
متن کاملUnderground test of quantum mechanics - the VIP 2 experiment
We are experimentally investigating possible violations of standard quantum mechanics predictions in the Gran Sasso underground laboratory in Italy. We test with high precision the Pauli Exclusion Principle and the collapse of the wave function (collapse models). We present our method of searching for possible small violations of the Pauli Exclusion Principle (PEP) for electrons, through the se...

The Pauli principle, QRPA and the two-neutrino double beta decay * Abstract We examine the violation of the Pauli exclusion principle in the Quasipar-ticle Random Phase Approximation (QRPA) calculation of the two-neutrino double beta decay matrix elements, which has its origin in the quasi-boson approximation. For that purpose we propose a new renormalized QRPA with proton-neutron pairing metho...
