Bounds on the Parameter of Noncommutativity from Supernova SN1987A
Abstract
Description
We consider supernova SN1987A to find bounds on parameter of noncommutativity, $þ_{μν}$. Right handed neutrino in the noncommutative standard model, NCSM, can directly couple to the photon and the Z-gauge boson. Therefore the observed flux of neutrinos from SN1987A can constrain the strength of the new couplings in the NCSM. We obtain two bounds on the NC-parameter, $Λ_{NC}=1/{\sqrt |þ|} $, with respect to escaping or trapping of the right handed neutrinos inside the supernova which are $Λ_{NC}\gtrsim 3.7 TeV$ or $Λ_{NC}\lesssim 1 TeV$, respectively. The excluded region $1 TeV\lesssimΛ_{NC}\lesssim 3.7 TeV$ for the NC-parameter is obtained for the first time. In fact $Λ_{NC}\lesssim 1 TeV$ is consistent with the existing bounds on $Λ_{NC}$ and raises our hopes to find the NC-effects in the LHC or even in the LEP. Meanwhile $Λ_{NC}\gtrsim 3.7 TeV$ is more stringent than the other bounds obtained from LEP and LHC considerations. Furthermore, since NC-calculations are perturbative and are correct only up to the energy scale of the NC-system $\lesssimΛ_{NC} $, therefore these bounds which are obtained from the energy scale considerably less than the energy scale of LEP and LHC are more reliable.
