Abstract

Accelerator mass spectrometry was used to test the validity of the Pauli exclusion principle for atomic electrons. Limits for the concentration of anomalous atoms where three electrons are occupying the K shell thus violating the Pauli exclusion principle were obtained. In the case of anomalous ²⁰Ne atoms, a limit of ²⁰Ne/²⁰Ne<2×10^-21 was measured with a time-of-flight technique. In the case of anomalous ³⁶Ar atoms, a limit of ³⁶Ar/³⁶Ar<4×10^-17 0773 0612 was obtained for hydrogen like ions.
