Exact Solutions to Non-Linear Symmetron Theory II: One and Two Mirror Systems
arXiv:2012.12752 · doi:10.1103/PhysRevD.103.084013
Abstract
We derive the exact analytical solutions to the symmetron field theory equations in the presence of a one or two mirror system in the case of a spontaneously broken phase in vacuum as well as in matter. This complements a similar analysis performed in a previous article [1], in which the symmetron is in the spontaneously broken phase in vacuum but in the symmetric phase in matter. Here again, the one dimensional equations of motion are integrated exactly for both systems and their solutions are expressed in terms of Jacobi elliptic functions. In the case of two parallel mirrors the equations of motion provide also in this case a discrete set of solutions with increasing number of nodes and energies. The solutions obtained herein can be applied to qBOUNCE experiments, neutron interferometry and to the calculation of the symmetron field induced "Casimir force" in the Cannex experiment and allow to extend the investigation to hitherto unavailable regions in symmetron parameter space.
