Neutron-Mirror Neutron conversion in Vacuum, Trap, Material and Neutron Star
arXiv:2112.14157 · doi:10.1103/PhysRevD.106.015015
Abstract
The possibility of neutron swapping between the ordinary and mirror sectors is today a subject of a great many theoretical and experimental studies. In this paper, we investigate the neutron-mirror neutron transitions in different environments from vacuum to neutron star. Our approach is based on the density matrix formalism, Lindblad and Bloch equations and the implication of the seesaw mechanism to the Hamiltonian diagonalization.
