Resonant n-n’ oscillations under superstrong magnetic fields
The new mirror matter theory predicts that resonant n−n′ oscillations can occur at super-strong magnetic fields. To our knowledge, super-strong magnetic fields( B ≥ 50 − 100 Tesla), mostly for applied/material sciences, have not been used for search of new physics. Using the super-strong DC and pulsed magnet facilities at Florida State University and Los […]
Magnetic Traps for Neutron Lifetime Measurement
Different geometries of magnetic trap can demonstrate the neutron lifetime anomaly differently. The new n − n′ oscillation mechanism can explain the observed 1% anomaly in neutron lifetime. Perhaps even more importantly, this mechanism predicts significantly different lifetimes (lower by > 100 seconds) of ultracold neutrons (UCN) in a magnetic trap under specific geometries, which […]
Invisible decays of long-lived neutral hadrons
The new theory also predicts a universal ordinary-mirror oscillation mechanism for neutral hadrons. Especially the unexpectedly large branching fractions of the K0/Λ0-to-invisible decays can be measured at existing collider facilities. In the new theory, CP violation can be considered as a direct result of spontaneous mirror symmetry breaking at staged quark condensation (e.g., at temperatures of […]
