The VIP collaboration is performing high sensitivity tests of the Pauli Exclusion Principle for electrons in the extremely low cosmic background environment of the underground Gran Sasso National Laboratory INFN (Italy). In particular, the VIP-2 Open Systems experiment was conceived to put strong constraints on those Pauli Exclusion Principle violation models which respect the so-called Messiah–Greenberg superselection rule. The experimental technique consists of introducing a direct current in a copper conductor, and searching for the X-rays emission coming from a forbidden atomic transition from the L shell to the K shell of copper when the K shell is already occupied by two electrons. The analysis of the first three months of collected data (in 2018) is presented. The obtained result represents the best bound on the Pauli Exclusion Principle violation probability which fulfills the Messiah–Greenberg rule.

A molecular surface defined as an isosurface of the valence repulsion energy may be hard or soft with respect to probe penetration. As a probe, the helium atom has been chosen. In addition, the Pauli exclusion principle makes the electronic structure change when the probe pushes the molecule (at a fixed positions of its nuclei). This results in a HOMO-LUMO gap dependence on the probe site on the isosurface. A smaller gap at a given probe position reflects a larger reactivity of the site with respect to the ionic dissociation.

Focusing on systems of many identical particles, Chapter 2 introduces appropriate operators to describe their properties in terms of Schwinger’s “measurement symbols.” The latter are then factorized into “creation” and “annihilation” operators, whose fundamental properties and commutation/anticommutation relations are derived in conjunction with the Pauli exclusion principle. This leads to “second quantization” with the Hamiltonian, number, linear and angular momentum operators expressed in terms of the annihilation and creation operators, as well as the occupation number representation. Finally, the concept of coherent states, as eigenstates of the annihilation operator, having minimum uncertainty, is introduced and discussed in detail.

Thermonuclear reactions provide the main source of radiated energy for stars and they are also believed to be responsible for the production of most of the heavy elements in the Universe. The thermonuclear plasma is confined by the force of gravitation and for most of a star’s history the reactions occur slowly and steadily. In some circumstances, the properties of a star change very rapidly and explosive nuclear reactions occur. In very dense stellar interiors the energy states available to electrons may be limited by the Pauli exclusion principle. When thermonuclear reactions start in such a degenerate gas, a rise in temperature is not accompanied by a significant rise in pressure and as a result there may be a runaway increase in reaction rate. In contrast, when reactions start in a non-degenerate gas, there is normally an effective thermostat. A star is usually opaque to reaction products, so that there is no problem in maintaining the reaction temperature, but at late stages of stellar evolution nuclear or elementary particle reactions may produce large numbers of neutrinos and antineutrinos that do escape.
