论文摘要
瓶中的中子寿命测量和束实验之间的现有差异已被解释为中子衰减对黑暗颗粒的迹象。我们总结了该提案的当前状态,包括讨论涉及标准模型和Baryonic黑暗部门之间门户网站的粒子物理模型。我们还回顾了有关这一想法的进一步理论发展,并详细介绍了在当前和即将进行的实验中验证中子暗衰变假设的前景。
The existing discrepancy between neutron lifetime measurements in bottle and beam experiments has been interpreted as a sign of the neutron decaying to dark particles. We summarize the current status of this proposal, including a discussion of particle physics models involving such a portal between the Standard Model and a baryonic dark sector. We also review further theoretical developments around this idea and elaborate on the prospects for verifying the neutron dark decay hypothesis in current and upcoming experiments.
