Title: Probing New Long-Range Interactions by Isotope Shift Spectroscopy

Abstract

We explore a method to probe new long- and intermediate-range interactions using precision atomic isotope shift spectroscopy. We develop a formalism to interpret linear King plots as bounds on new physics with minimal theory inputs. We focus only on bounding the new physics contributions that can be calculated independently of the standard model nuclear effects. We apply our method to existing Ca+ data and project its sensitivity to conjectured new bosons with spin-independent couplings to the electron and the neutron using narrow transitions in other atoms and ions, specifically, Sr and Yb. Future measurements are expected to improve the relative precision by 5 orders of magnitude, and they can potentially lead to an unprecedented sensitivity for bosons within the 0.3 to 10 MeV mass range.

FIG. 1 FIG. 1: Limits on the electron and neutron couplings (yeyn) of a new boson of mass mϕ (for the experimental accuracies σi specified on the labels). Constraint from existing IS data: Ca+ (397 vs 866 nm, the solid red line). IS projections (the dashed lines) for Ca+ (S → Dmore » transitions), Sr+, Sr/Sr+, and Yb+. For comparison, existing constraints from other experiments are shown as shaded areas: fifth force (dark orange), (g − 2)e combined with neutron scattering (light blue) or SN 1987A (light orange), and star cooling in globular clusters (orange). The gray line at 17 MeV indicates the yeyn values required to accommodate the Be anomaly.« less
