A novel method of searching for an axial-vector mediated force

Abstract

We present an atomic, molecular, and optical physics based method for the purpose of search for axial-vector mediated dipole-dipole interaction between electrons. In our scheme, applying a static magnetic field and a pump beam and a probe beam to a hybrid mechanical system composed of a nitrogen-vacancy center and a cantilever resonator, we could obtain a probe absorption spectrum. Based on the study of the relationship between this spectrum and the exotic dipole-dipole interaction, we put forward our detection principle and then provide a prospective constraint most stringent at a rough interaction range from $4\times {10}^{-8}$ to $2\times {10}^{-7}m$ . Our results indicate that this scheme could be put into consideration in relevant experimental searches .
