In this short paper, I sum up the ideas of unparticle field theory (UFT). UFT is a scale-invariant theory. Georgi proposed it in 2007. Some slides (of earlier times) by him are available here on the subject. Despite being a wonderful field theory, it lacks
experimental evidence. However, indirect shreds of evidence are possible
through the following channels
.
There are more channels other than these. (For technicalities of these
interactions, refer to papers.) UFT has a parameter
in the field
equations. UFT is unlikely (for now) to be observed because it can be integral
values, for instance, 1/2. How would the field theory look?
In the case of
, UFT is just standard model field theory (these scalar theories are
scale-invariant). For instance a UFT with the propagator
is phase-space (refer to any paper on UFT).
When
, the propagator becomes
which is a familiar propagator in SM. There are many more interesting
things about UFT that I cover in the paper with results. You should check
first (if new to UFT) papers by Georgi, Tzu-Yiang Yuan, and Kingman
Cheung. Georgi is also carrying interesting results in Schwinger's
problems.
Recently, a new term was dropped in this area by Hammer and Son. Unnuclear physics is a non-relativistic theory of unparticles. This EFT
claims much more experiments than unparticle physics (which is a
relativistic version). A recent talk by Dam Son emphasized the
phenomenology of unnuclear physics, which is his next paper (to be
released this month). A lot is going in this field. However, it is a
newborn field, so a lot can't be said.
Congratulations!!
