Neutrino As a Messenger of Breaking of the Spin-Statistics Relation. A.D

Neutrino as a messenger of breaking of the spin-statistics relation. A.D. Dolgov NSU, Novosibirsk, 630090, Russia ITEP, Moscow, 117218, Russia Are spin-statistics connection and quantum theory exact? Laboratori Nazionali di Frascati, 19-21 December 2016 1 Content of the talk: Phenomenological manifestations of (a large) admixture of bosonic compo- nent to partly fermionic neutrinos: cosmology, astrophysics, and particle physics. Difficult in absence of a con- sistent theory, only \resonable" guess. VofPP from neutrino to visible world. An attempt to make a consistent model of statistics violation by fermionic vac- uum condensate- so far unsuccessful. 2 Why neutrinos? Because experimental bounds are weak, while the effects might be LARGE. 3 More serioiusly: The only known particle indicating new physics, beyond MSM: 1. Origin of neutrino mass. 2. Non-conservation of leptonic fla- vors (electronic, muonic, tauonic). 3. The only known particle for which Majorana mass is possible: breaking of the total leptonic number conser- vation. 4 Neutrinos may be messengers from hid- den sector where our sacred princi- ples are not respected and this could give rise to exotic/exciting possibili- ties: breaking of CPT invariance breaking of Lorentz invariance, nonlocality, etc... but hopefully causality survives. 5 MOST EXOTIC POSSIBILITY: breaking of spin-statistics relation Did Pauli invent a particle which breaks the Pauli exclusion principle? If so, all above, CPT, Lorentz, etc may/must be broken too through (weak) communication with neutrinos. 6 Fermi, 1934: maybe electrons are a little bit not identical LATER PAULI PRINCIPLE VIOLA- TION FOR \NORMAL" MATTER, ELECTRONS, NUCLEONS: Ignatyev, Kuzmin, Okun, Mohapatra, Green- berg, Govorkov... Very strong upper bounds. Weak in- teractions of neutrinos makes it natu- ral, if spin-satistics is (strongly )bro- ken by neutrinos. 7 Possible accompanying effects of spin- statistics violation: NONLOCALITY FASTER-THAN-LIGHT SIGNALS BROKEN CPT UNITARITY ??? NON-POSITIVE ENERGY, UNSTA- BLE VACUUM ??? THEORETICAL PROBLEMS OR INSPIRATION ? 8 OBSERVATIONAL SIGNATURES OF BOSONIC NEUTRINOS 1. Large scale structure of the uni- verse: cold and hot dark matter made of KNOWN particles, neutrinos. 2. Big bang nucleosynthesis. 3. Neutrino spectrum from supernovae. 4. Z-burst model for ultrahigh energy cosmic rays (maybe out of interest). 5. Two neutrino double beta decay. 6. Statistics violation through neu- trino communication to e; p; n. 9 Postpone non-existing theory and con- sider phenomenology of neutrinos obey- ing Bose or mixed statistics. What can we buy for this price? Interesting possibility to study. Cosmological dark matter made of known particles, i.e. of neutrinos! Observable effects in neutrino physics and maybe in usual matter.. 10 Even without good theory some for- malism is necessary. Introduce femionic, f and bosonic, b, annihilation oper- ators, a = cf + sb, and define one- neutrino state as: jνi =a ^+j0i = cjfi + sjbi where c = cos δ and s = sin δ. 11 Two neutrino state: + + jk1; k2i =a ^1 a^2 j0i Postulate commutators: f^^b = eiφ^bf;^ f^+^b+ = eiφ^b+f^+; f^^b+ = e−iφ^b+f;^ f^+^b = e−iφ^bf^+: Two-neutrino decay amplitude: 2 2 A2β = cos χ Af + sin χ Ab; where cos2χ = c4 + c2s2(1 − cosφ) and sin2χ = s4 + c2s2(1 + cosφ). 12 Warning: do not take it to seriously and do not go to multiparticle states. It reminds effective Lagrangian when only first order is allowed. A conve- nient parametrization only. Double beta-decay: sin2χ < 0:7 (Figures are below, if there is time.) 13 LSS AND DARK MATTER Normal neutrinos cannot make cos- mological cold dark matter for any spectrum of density perturbations and any interactions. Tremain-Gunn limit: mν > 50 eV. Fermi exclusion forbids too many neu- trinos in a galaxy. It is also true for thermal bosons by the Liuville theo- rem, but Bose condensate could work. If mν is bounded by Gershtein-Zeldovich limit, mν < 1 eV, the galactic DM mass would be too small. Bose-condensed neutrinos could do all. 14 The choice is either NEW PARTICLES, OLD PHYSICS or OLD PARTICLES AND VERY NEW PHYSICS Occam: \Plurality should not be posited without necessity". 15 BOSONIC NEUTRINOS CAN MAKE ALL OBSERVED COSMOLOGICAL DARK MATTER, COLD AND HOT. They should form Bose condensate. A large lepton asymmetry, jnν − nν¯j=nγ ∼ 100 is necessary. It may be created in a version of Affleck-Dine model. Problems with BBN and CMB? 16 Equilibrium distribution for purely bosonic neutrinos: 1 fνb = + Cδ(k) exp[(E − µν)=T − 1] If chemical potential µν = mν (maxi- mum allowed value) and lepton asym- metry is large then νb should condense, i.e. C 6= 0, and become COLD. 3 To make all DM we need C ∼ 10Tν . 17 With mν = 0:1 eV neutrinos would make CDM if 4 −3 nν ∼ 10 cm It is TWO ORDERS of magnitude larger than the conventional number. In galaxies the neutrino number den- sity could be about 6 orders of mag- nitude higher (gal) 10 −3 nν ∼ 10 cm : 18 Cosmological neutrino condensate may explain anomalies in tritium experi- ments for search of neutrino mass and oscillations of the life-time of nuclei!? To this end neutrino number density around the Earth should be about 16 17 3 −7 10 − 10 /cm and mν < 10 eV. Since double beta decay excludes 100% bosonic neutrinos the numbers would be somewhat different. 19 Kinetics with mixed statistics. Kinetic equation (standard): F = f1(p1)f2(p2)[1 ± f3(p3)][1 ± f4(p4)] −f3(p3)f4(p4)[1 ± f1(p1)][1 ± f2(p2)] How mixed statistics can be described? Wild guess (justified aposteriori by the nice result): 2 2 (1 − fν) ! c (1 − fν) + s (1 + fν) 20 Another possibility: 2 2 2 2 (1 − fν) ! c (1 − c fν) + s (1 + s fν): In both cases (1 − fν) ! (1 − κfν), κ = c2 − s2 is Fermi-Bose mixing parameter. The angle γ in c = cosγ and s = sinγ is not necessarily the same as in 2β-decay amplitude introduced above. 21 EQUILIBRIUM DISTRIBUTION: (eq) −1 fν = [exp (E=T ) + κ] : κ runs from +1 (Fermi) to −1 (Bose); κ = 0 (Boltzmann). Maximum chemical potential for which condensation occures: (max) µ = mν − T ln ( − κ) Bose condensation can take place for negative κ only. 22 EFFECTS ON BBN. Cucurull, J.A. Grifols, R. Toldra. Aspropart.Phys. 4 (1996) 391; A. Dolgov, S. Hansen, A. Smirnov. Larger energy density of ν: (eff) Nν rises. Larger rate of neutron-proton trans- (eff) formations, Nν drops. For maximum statistic violation the second effect dominates and (eff) Nν = 2:43: The present day data: N eff > 3. Canonical N eff = 3:046. From BBN and CMB data: N eff = 3:3 ± 0:3. νe asymmetry can move it anywhere. 23 WITH ZERO OR NEGLIGIBLE CHEM- ICAL POTENTIAL OF NEUTRINOS. 24 Better agreement with the data if κ < 0. 25 BBN limits on chemical potential: In the standard case with large mea- sured mixing of all neutrinos:: jξaj ≡ jµa=T j < 0:07 for any νa. If there is coupling to light majoron: jξej < 0:1; jξµ,τ j < 2 − 3: 26 In presence of nu-condensate: 1 f = + Cδ3(p) exp(E − µ)=T − κ κ 1 − f ! 1 + + Cδ3(p) e(E−µ)=T − κ For bosonic ν the effect of ξ ≈ lnjκj may be canceled by condensate C, which changes the expansion rate and leads to higher n/p freezing temperature (pre- liminary): −(∆m+µ )=T (n=p)eq = e νe 27 Bosonic neutrinos from supernovae. Energy spectrum of ν should be more narrow. Violation of the Pauli principle allows for a smaller chemical potential of ν. This leads to a faster cooling and lower central temperature. Not yet excluded. 28 Neutrino induction of spin-statistics violation in ordinary matter. Bosonic component of electron: eF ! W + ν ! eF + eB: Mass renormalization should be sub- tracted, it is probably unobservable. Naive estimate: 2 ∼ α (Λ=mW ) : −12 If Λ ∼ me, then ∼ 10 . For nucleons the effect should be sup- pressed by 2nd order in weak interac- tions. 29 DOUBLE BETA DECAY. Define neutrino state as: jνi = cf^+j0i + s^b+j0i = cjfi + sjbi where c = cos δ and s = sin δ. It would be desirable if δ = γ introduced above but cannot be formally proved. Need to specify the commutators: f^^b = eiφ^bf;^ f^+^b+ = eiφ^b+f^+; ^b+ = e−iφ^b+f;^ f^+^b = e−iφ^bf^+; φ is an arbitrary phase. Two neutrino state: + + jk1; k2i =a ^1 a^2 j0i 30 NORMALIZATION The n- state is natural to define as n jni = cf + + sb+ j0i The normalization is h hnjni = s2(n−1) n!s2+ # sin (nφ/2) 2 (n − 1)!c2 (φ/2) sin The particle number operator: n^ = a+a: Diagonal matrix elements: h hnjn^jni = s2(n−1) n n!s4+ φ(n − 1) sin nφ/2 2n! c2s2cos + 2 sinφ/2 ! # c2 − s2 sin (nφ/2)2 c2n! s2 + (1) n sin (φ/2) ; 31 Amplitude of double-beta decay: ZZ 0 4 4 A2β = hk1; k2; 2e; A d x1d x2 1(x1) 2(x2)M(x1; x2) 0;Ai; After simple commutations: 4 2 2 A2β = A− c + c s (1 − cosφ) 4 2 2 +A+ c + c s (1 + cosφ) . 2 2 A2β = cos χ A− + sin χ A+: for any φ. Integrated over neutrinos: 4 4 Wtot = cos χ W− + sin χ W+ 32 The 0+ ! 0+ amplitude for normal neutrinos is proportional to bilinear combinations of −1 Kn ≡ [En − Ei + Ee1 + Eν1] ]] −1 +[En − Ei + Ee2 + Eν2] ; and −1 Ln ≡ [En − Ei + Ee2 + Eν1] −1 +[En − Ei + Ee1 + Eν2] : For bosonic neutrinos the sum in each term above changes to difference.
