Abstract: | Why, among ~10 16 possibilities, does a wave function of a fast ion, spread over several centimeters, collapse in a crystal within a region measuring a few angstroms across? The most direct answer to this question would be the existence in this region of a cosmic particle, called a dybbuk, which induces the collapse. If dybbuks exist, deviations from conventional theory might be expected to occur for experiments involving ultrasmall space-time intervals less than the characteristic space-time interval of a dybbuk. It is shown that a dybbuk theory having the above characteristics can be constructed and can be tested experimentally by the decay of a0 ? (J P) meson into two vector mesons. |
