Search for exotic K X-rays from neutral iodine atoms and limits on charge non-conservation

  • 1. Dept. of Physics, Osaka Univ. (Japan)

Description

Exotic K X-ray emission from neutral iodine atoms was searched for by using a large volume NaI detector. The most stringent upper limit on the K X-ray emission rate was obtained as 8.3x10-24 yr-1. It leads to the most stringent upper limits εW2<3.0x10-30, element ofγ2<1.5x10-45 and δNP2<1.1x10-46 for the relative strengths of the charge non-conserving (CNC) weak process, the CNC electromagnetic process, and of the non-paulian K X-ray emission, respectively.
