Predicted energy shifts for 'paronic' helium
It has been shown by Greenberg and Mohapatra (1987) that it is possible to construct a local relativistic quantum field theory which admits small violations of the Pauli exclusion principle, by introducing paronic states which obey para-Fermi statistics of order 2. Paronic shifts are calculated for the low-lying states of helium to aid in the design of experiments either to detect paronic helium, or place upper limits on its possible existence.
