摘要
-在标准模型的许多扩展中预测了大质量的光子样粒子,其中隐藏的部分占暗物质候选者。它们具有与光子类似的相互作用,是矢量玻色子,可以与光子一起产生。目前大多数关于暗光子(A)的实验约束都依赖于显性衰变到轻子对的假设。PADME实验的目的是在正电子非靶实验中寻找e+e−→γA过程,假设a衰变为隐藏扇区的不可见粒子。将使用国际核物理研究所弗拉斯卡蒂国家实验室的直线加速器生产的DAΦNE光束测试设备(BTF)的正电子束。实验装置的核心是一个细粒度、高分辨率的量热计。它将在探测器中没有其他活动的事件中高精度地测量光子的动量,从而允许测量A质量作为最终状态中的缺失质量。在大约一年的数据采集中,在1 MeV < MA < 23.7 MeV的质量区域,6000个正电子以550 MeV的束流能量在40 ns长束中运行,对相互作用强度(2个参数)的灵敏度降低到10−6。该实验目前处于建设阶段,计划于2018年运行。综述了PADME探测器的研究现状和PADME的物理潜力。
PADME: Searching for dark mediator at the Frascati BTF
— Massive photon-like particles are predicted in many extensions of the Standard Model with a hidden sector accounting for dark matter candidates. They have interactions similar to the photon, are vector bosons, and can be produced together with photons. Most of the present experimental constraints on the dark photon (A) rely on the hypothesis of dominant decays to lepton pairs. The PADME experiment aims at searching for the e+e− → γA process in a positron-on-target experiment, assuming a decay of the A into invisible particles of the hidden sector. The positron beam of the DAΦNE Beam-Test Facility (BTF), produced by the LINAC at the Laboratori Nazionali di Frascati of INFN, will be used. The core of the experimental apparatus is a fine-grained, high-resolution calorimeter. It will measure with high precision the momentum of the photon in events with no other activity in the detector, thus allowing to measure the A mass as the missing mass in the final state. In about one year data taking, a sensitivity on the interaction strength ( 2 parameter) down to 10−6 is achievable, in the mass region from 1 MeV < MA < 23.7 MeV, running with 6000 positrons in 40 ns long bunches at 550 MeV beam energy. The experiment, now in the construction phase, is planned to run in 2018. The status of the PADME detector and the physics potential of PADME is reviewed.
期刊介绍:
La Rivista del Nuovo Cimento is an international peer-reviewed journal. It publishes monographs in all fields of physics. These monographies aim at presenting the state of the art of topical subjects of relevant interest for the community. Usually, authors are invited and topics suggested by the Deputy Editors-in-Chief, but also spontaneous submissions are examined.
