论文摘要

我们提出了在地球孔隙空间站运行的高精度光原子时钟(OAC)的概念。这项探路者科学任务将将基于空间的OAC与一个或多个超稳的陆地OAC进行比较,以搜索黑暗标量场的依赖时空依赖性签名,这些符号在基于站点和地面的时钟的相对频率中表现为异常。这打开了探测新物理模型的可能性,这些模型无法访问纯粹的基于地面的OAC实验,在这些实验中,黑暗标量场可能会在地球表面附近进行强烈筛查。对潜在暗物质候选者的敏感性的独特增强,利用了太空OAC的潜力。

We present a concept for a high-precision optical atomic clock (OAC) operating on an Earth-orbiting space station. This pathfinder science mission will compare the space-based OAC with one or more ultra-stable terrestrial OACs to search for space-time-dependent signatures of dark scalar fields that manifest as anomalies in the relative frequencies of station-based and ground-based clocks. This opens the possibility of probing models of new physics that are inaccessible to purely ground-based OAC experiments where a dark scalar field may potentially be strongly screened near Earth's surface. This unique enhancement of sensitivity to potential dark matter candidates harnesses the potential of space-based OACs.
