Title: The simplicity of perfect atoms: Degeneracies in supersymmetric hydrogen

Abstract

In this study, supersymmetric QED hydrogen-like bound states are remarkably similar to nonsupersymmetric hydrogen, including an accidental degeneracy of the fine structure and is broken by the Lamb shift. This article classifies the states, calculates the leading order spectrum, and illustrates the results in several limits. The relation to other nonrelativistic bound states is explored.

Technical Report Rube, Tomas ; /Stanford U., ITP ; Wacker, Jay G ; ...

Supersymmetric QED hydrogen-like bound states are remarkably similar to non-supersymmetric hydrogen, including an accidental degeneracy of the fine structure and which is broken by the Lamb shift. This article classifies the states, calculates the leading order spectrum, and illustrates the results in several limits. The relation to other non-relativistic bound states is explored. Supersymmetric bound states provide a laboratory for studying dynamics in supersymmetric theories. Bound states like hydrogen provide a framework for understanding the qualitative dynamics of QCD mesons, a supersymmetric version of QED can provide a qualitative picture for the symmetries and states of superQCD mesons.

EFFECTS OF AN ELECTRIC DIPOLE MOMENT OF THE ELECTRON ON THE HYDROGEN ENERGY LEVELS

Journal Article Feinberg, G - Physical Review (U.S.) Superseded in part by Phys. Rev. A, Phys. Rev. B: Solid State, Phys. Rev. C, and Phys. Rev. D

The bound states in a Coulomb field of a charged, spin 1/2, particle with an electric dipole moment are obtained. The nonrelativistic Schrodinger equation for such a particle is solved in closed form. The wave functions are generalizations of the Coulomb wave functions, involving Laguerre polynomials of nonintegral upper index. The accidental degeneracies of the Coulomb energy levels are removed by the dipole interaction. In particular, there will be an additional contribution to the splitting between the 2S/sub 1/2/ and 2P/sub 1/2 states coming from the dipole moment. By requiring that this extra energy shift should not destroy the agreementmore »« less

Nearly Supersymmetric Dark Atoms

Journal Article Behbahani, Siavosh R. ; Jankowiak, Martin ; Rube, Tomas ; ... - Advances in High Energy Physics

Theories of dark matter that support bound states are an intriguing possibility for the identity of the missing mass of the Universe. This article proposes a class of models of supersymmetric composite dark matter where the interactions with the Standard Model communicate supersymmetry breaking to the dark sector. In these models, supersymmetry breaking can be treated as a perturbation on the spectrum of bound states. Using a general formalism, the spectrum with leading supersymmetry effects is computed without specifying the details of the binding dynamics. The interactions of the composite states with the Standard Model are computed, and several benchmarkmore »« less

Second-order corrections to the wave function at the origin in muonic hydrogen and pionium

Journal Article Ivanov, Vladimir G ; Korzinin, Evgeny Yu ; Karshenboim, Savely G ; ... - Physical Review. D, Particles Fields

Nonrelativistic second-order corrections to the wave function at the origin in muonic and exotic atoms are considered. The corrections are due to the electronic vacuum polarization. Such corrections are of interest due to various effective approaches, which take into account QED and hadronic effects. The wave function at the origin plays a key role in the calculation of the pionium lifetime, various finite nuclear size effects, and the hyperfine splitting. The results are obtained for the 1s and 2s states in pionic and muonic hydrogen and deuterium and in pionium, a bound system of {pi}{sup +} and {pi}{sup -}. Applicationsmore »« less
