Workshop in Honour of Reinhold A. Bertlmann
Mitschnitt einer Veranstaltung der Fakultät für Physik der Universität Wien am Samstag, dem 26. Juni 2010 im Seminar-Hotel Schneeberghof in Puchberg am Schneeberg
Teil 4A: Catalina Curceanu: Stepping into Bertlmann's Socks: Some Experimental Tests on Quantum Mechanics (erster Teil)
Moderation: Beatrix Hiesmayr
The Pauli Exclusion Principle (PEP), reflecting the spin-statistics connection, represents a fundamental principle of the modern physics. Even if today there are no compelling reasons to doubt its validity, it still spurs a lively debate on its possible limits, as testified by the abundant contributions found in the literature and in topical conferences. This talk presents a method of searching for possible small violations of PEP for electrons, through the search for "anomalous" X-ray transitions in copper atoms, produced by "fresh" electrons (brought inside the copper bar by circulating current) which can have the probability to do the Pauli-forbidden transition to the 1 s level already occupied by two electrons.
