Looking to confirm: Does the hypothetical axion interact through weak and strong nuclear forces?
 
Physics news on Phys.org
I don't know, so I asked ChatGPT. It said the following.

The axion is a hypothetical elementary particle that has been proposed as a solution to the strong CP problem in particle physics. It is predicted to interact through the strong and weak nuclear forces, as well as through electromagnetism.

The strong CP problem refers to the fact that quantum chromodynamics (QCD), the theory of the strong nuclear force, predicts that the strong force should violate a fundamental symmetry known as charge-parity symmetry (CP symmetry). This would lead to the appearance of an electric dipole moment in the neutron, which is not observed experimentally. The axion was proposed as a possible solution to this problem by allowing the strong force to conserve CP symmetry.

In addition to interacting through the strong and weak nuclear forces, the axion is also predicted to interact with electromagnetism through a coupling constant known as the axion-photon coupling. This interaction would allow the axion to be converted into photons and vice versa, which could potentially be observed through experiments looking for the conversion of axions into photons in strong electromagnetic fields.

Overall, the axion is a hypothetical particle that is predicted to interact through a variety of fundamental forces, including the strong and weak nuclear forces as well as electromagnetism. However, it is important to note that the axion remains a purely theoretical particle and has not yet been observed or detected experimentally.

You are right. But it will be interesting to see if someone will give a better answer. :wink:

If strong force conserves CP symmetry, will that not prevent the electrostrong force from separating into strong force and electroweak force?
 
I read Hanbury Brown and Twiss's experiment is using one beam but split into two to test their correlation. It said the traditional correlation test were using two beams........ This confused me, sorry. All the correlation tests I learnt such as Stern-Gerlash are using one beam? (Sorry if I am wrong) I was also told traditional interferometers are concerning about amplitude but Hanbury Brown and Twiss were concerning about intensity? Isn't the square of amplitude is the intensity? Please...
I am not sure if this belongs in the biology section, but it appears more of a quantum physics question. Mike Wiest, Associate Professor of Neuroscience at Wellesley College in the US. In 2024 he published the results of an experiment on anaesthesia which purported to point to a role of quantum processes in consciousness; here is a popular exposition: https://neurosciencenews.com/quantum-process-consciousness-27624/ As my expertise in neuroscience doesn't reach up to an ant's ear...
