    New method of galactic axion search

    Full text link
    An appealing candidate of the galactic dark matter is the axion, which was postulated to solve the strong CP (Charge-conjugation Parity) violation problem in the standard particle theory. A new experimental method is proposed to determine the axion mass. The method uses collectively and coherently excited atoms or molecules, the trigger laser inducing galactic axion absorption along with signal photon emission to be detected.Comment: Finite size effect of target is incorporated. 5 pages, 3 figure

    Determination of CP violation parameter using neutrino pair beam

    Full text link
    Neutrino oscillation experiments under neutrino pair beam from circulating excited heavy ions are studied. It is found that detection of double weak events has a good sensitivity to measure CP violating parameter and distinguish mass hierarchy patterns in short baseline experiments in which the earth-induced matter effect is minimized.Comment: 9 pages, 6 figure

    Dynamics of two-photon paired superradiance

    We develop for dipole-forbidden transition a dynamical theory of two-photon paired superradiance, or PSR for short. This is a cooperative process characterized by two photons back to back emitted with equal energies. By irradiation of trigger laser from two target ends, with its frequency tuned at the half energy between two levels, a macroscopically coherent state of medium and fields dynamically emerges as time evolves and large signal of amplified output occurs with a time delay. The basic semi-classical equations in 1+1 spacetime dimensions are derived for the field plus medium system to describe the spacetime evolution of the entire system, and numerically solved to demonstrate existence of both explosive and weak PSR phenomena in the presence of relaxation terms. The explosive PSR event terminates accompanying a sudden release of most energy stored in the target. Our numerical simulations are performed using a vibrational transition X1Σg+v=1→0X^1\Sigma_g^+ v=1 \rightarrow 0 of para-H2_2 molecule, and taking many different excited atom number densities and different initial coherences between the metastable and the ground states. In an example of number density close to O[1021]O[10^{21}]cm−3^{-3} and of high initial coherence, the explosive event terminates at several nano seconds after the trigger irradiation, when the phase relaxation time of >O[10]> O[10] ns is taken. After PSR events the system is expected to follow a steady state solution which is obtained by analytic means, and is made of many objects of field condensates endowed with a topological stability.Comment: 31 pages, 15 figures.
