Fine Structure Constant Variation from a Late Phase Transition
Recent experimental data indicates that the fine structure constant α may be varying on cosmological time scales. We consider the possibility that such a variation could be induced by a second order phase transition which occurs at late times (z ∼ 1 3) and involves a change in the vacuum expectation value (vev) of a scalar with milli-eV mass. Such light scalars are natural in supersymmetric the...
متن کاملMethod for Precision Test of Fine Structure Constant Variation with Optical Frequency References
A test of the possible variation in space-time of the fine structure constant by comparing In and Tl optical frequency references is proposed. The ions would be confined in a linear trap spaced by about 20μm and the frequency comparison would be realized using an optical stabilization transfer cavity. The limit of α̇/α∼ 10/τ can be approached with this method, where τ is the time over which the ...
متن کاملSearch for Possible Variation of the Fine Structure Constant
Determination of the fine structure constant α and search for its possible variation are considered. We focus on a role of the fine structure constant in modern physics and discuss precision tests of quantum electrodynamics. Different methods of a search for possible variations of fundamental constants are compared and those related to optical measurements are considered in detail.
متن کاملRelativistic effects in Ni II and the search for variation of the fine structure constant
Theories unifying gravity and other interactions suggest the possibility of spatial and temporal variation of physical “constants” in the Universe. Detection of high redshift absorption systems intersecting the sight lines towards distant quasars provide a powerful tool for measuring these variations. In the present paper we demonstrate that high sensitivity to variation of the fine structure c...
