We study the interaction, in general curved spacetime, between a spinor and a scalar field describing dark energy; the so-called DE model in curved space. The dominant term is the dimension 5 operator, which results in different energy shifts for the neutrino states: an Aharonov–Bohm-like effect. We study the phenomenology of this term and make observational predictions to detect dark energy interactions in the laboratory due to its effect on neutrino oscillation experiments, which opens up the possibility of designing underground experiments to detect dark energy. This dimension 5 operator beyond the Standard Model interaction is less suppressed than the widely discussed dimension 6 operator, which corresponds to mass varying neutrinos; the dimension 5 operator does not suffer from gravitational instabilities.

弯曲时空中的自旋和标量:中微子暗能量(DE)
我们研究了在广义的弯曲时空中,旋转子和描述暗能量的标量场之间的相互作用。所谓的DE弯曲空间中的模型。主导项是5维算子,它对中微子状态产生不同的能量转移:类似于Aharonov–Bohm效应。我们研究了该术语的现象学,并由于其对中微子振荡实验的影响,在实验室中进行了观察性预测,以检测暗能量相互作用,这为设计地下实验以检测暗能量开辟了可能性。与标准模型的交互作用相比,此5维算符的抑制作用要小于广泛讨论的6维算符,后者对应于质量变化的中微子。5维运算符不会受到重力不稳定性的影响。
