论文摘要
在已知的颗粒中，中子具有特殊的位置，因为它为所有四个基本力和广泛的假设相互作用提供了实验性访问。尽管不稳定，但自由中子的寿命足够长，可以用作干涉，光谱和散射实验的测试颗粒，以探测低能尺度。正如1970年代已经认可的那样，可以在中子干涉测量法中使用硅完美的单晶晶体测试量子力学的基本概念。除了允许进行不确定性关系的测试，贝尔的不平等和中子外，中子还提供了观察重力和对扩展物质波功能的假设黑性力的影响的机会。鉴于我们对宇宙学的理解以及量子力学和一般相对论之间的不兼容，这种测试的重要性是重要的。因此，使用低能中子的实验是必不可少的工具，用于探测基本物理学并代表了对山脉的补充方法。在这篇综述中，我们讨论了这种低能物理学前沿使用的历史和实验方法，并收集了量子机械关系和暗能量相互作用的界限和限制。
Among the known particles, the neutron takes a special position, as it provides experimental access to all four fundamental forces and a wide range of hypothetical interactions. Despite being unstable, free neutrons live long enough to be used as test particles in interferometric, spectroscopic, and scattering experiments probing low-energy scales. As was already recognized in the 1970s, fundamental concepts of quantum mechanics can be tested in neutron interferometry using silicon perfect-single-crystals. Besides allowing for tests of uncertainty relations, Bell inequalities and alike, neutrons offer the opportunity to observe the effects of gravity and hypothetical dark forces acting on extended matter wave functions. Such tests gain importance in the light of recent discoveries of inconsistencies in our understanding of cosmology as well as the incompatibility between quantum mechanics and general relativity. Experiments with low-energy neutrons are thus indispensable tools for probing fundamental physics and represent a complementary approach to colliders. In this review we discuss the history and experimental methods used at this low-energy frontier of physics and collect bounds and limits on quantum mechanical relations and dark energy interactions.
