Neutron diffraction constraint on spin-dependent short range interaction
نویسندگان
چکیده
The direct constraint on the parameters of short range pseudomagnetic interaction of free neutron with matter is obtained from the recent test experiment on a search for neutron EDM by crystal-diffraction method [1]. It is shown that this constraint on a product of scalar to pseudo-scalar coupling constants gsgp is better than that of any other method for the range λ < 10cm.

N ov 2 00 8 Neutron diffraction test on spin - dependent short range interaction
In this short note we discuss the possibility to get the constraint on the parameters of short range pseudomagnetic interaction of free neutron with matter from the crystal-diffraction experiment. It is demonstrated that for range of λ < 10 −6 m this constraint can be a few order better than in any other method.
متن کاملConstraining spin-dependent short range interactions using neutron spin precession close to a mirror
Spin-dependent short range interactions of free neutrons with matter may be searched for in various ways. This short note discusses pseudomagnetic precession of trapped ultracold neutrons in vicinity to bulk matter, which should be several orders of magnitude more sensitive than any other method proposed so far.
متن کاملSpin-stripe phase in a frustrated zigzag spin-1/2 chain
Motifs of periodic modulations are encountered in a variety of natural systems, where at least two rival states are present. In strongly correlated electron systems, such behaviour has typically been associated with competition between short- and long-range interactions, for example, between exchange and dipole-dipole interactions in the case of ferromagnetic thin films. Here we show that spin-...
متن کاملNew limit on possible long-range parity-odd interactions of the neutron from neutron-spin rotation in liquid 4He.
Various theories beyond the standard model predict new particles with masses in the sub-eV range with very weak couplings to ordinary matter. A parity-odd interaction between polarized nucleons and unpolarized matter proportional to g(V)g(A)s · p is one such possibility, where s[over →] and p[over →] are the spin and the momentum of the polarized nucleon, and g(V) and g(A) are the vector and ax...
متن کاملNeutron Diffraction and Mössbauer Studies of Zinc Ferrite
It is shown by neutron diffraction and Mossbauer spectrometry that the formation of a long range magnetic order in zinc ferrite depends sensitivily on the content of divalent iron. The experimental data favour a non collinear model of the magnetic structure. Zinc ferrite is a normal spinel with the tetrahedral A sites occupied by Zn2+ ions and the octahedral B sites occupied by Fe3+ ions. Any m...
