Abstract

We consider nuclei produced in core collapse supernovas and subjected to a high neutron flux. We show that an accelerator mass spectrometry experiment that searches for traces of anomalous iron isotopes could set limits of the order of 10201025 on (or perhaps discover) Pauli principle violation by neutrons. A similar search for anomalous Co isotopes could set limits in the range 10131018 on Pauli principle violation by protons. We show that existing data on oxygen can be used to set a limit of about 1017 in one proposed model of such violation.
