Revisiting the Marton, Simpson, and Suddeth experimental confirmation of the Aharonov-Bohm effect | | James Macdougall

4 May 2015 | | Abstract: | We perform an "archeological" study of one of the original experiments used
as evidence for the static, time-independent Aharonov-Bohm effect. Since the
experiment in question [L. Marton, J. A. Simpson, and J. A. Suddeth, Rev. Sci.
Instr. 25, 1099 (1954)] involved a time varying magnetic field we show that
there are problems with the explanation of this experiment as a confirmation of
the static Aharonov-Bohm effect -- specifically the previous analysis ignored
the electric field which arises in conjunction with a time-varying magnetic
flux. We further argue that the results of this experiment do in fact conform
exactly to the recent prediction [D. Singleton and E. Vagenas, Phys. Lett.
B723, 241 (2013); J. MacDougall and D. Singleton, J. Math. Phys. 55, 042101
(2014)] of a cancellation between the magnetic and electric phase shifts for
the time-dependent Aharonov-Bohm effect. To resolve this issue a new
time-dependent Aharonov-Bohm experiment is called for. | | Source: | arXiv, 1505.1510 | | Services: | Forum | Review | PDF | Favorites | |
