Limits on Pauli principle violation by nucleons

High Energy Physics - Phenomenology 2009-10-31 v1

Abstract

We consider nuclei produced in core collapse supernovae and subjected to a high neutron flux. We show that an accelerator mass spectrometry experiment that searched for traces of anomalous iron isotopes could set limits on the order of 1020102510^{-20}-10^{-25} on (or perhaps discover) Pauli principle violation by neutrons. A similar search for anomalous Co isotopes could set limits in the range 1013101810^{-13}-10^{-18} on Pauli principle violation by protons. We show that existing data on Oxygen can be used to set a limit of about 101710^{-17} in one proposed model of such violation.
