Improved search for neutron to mirror-neutron oscillations in the presence of mirror magnetic fields with a dedicated apparatus at the PSI UCN source
N. J. Ayres, Z. Berezhiani, R. Biondi +22
While the international nEDM collaboration at the Paul Scherrer Institut (PSI) took data in 2017 that covered a considerable fraction of the parameter space of claimed potential si…
The Low Polonium Field of Borexino and its significance for the CNO neutrino detection
S. Kumaran, M. Agostini, K. Altenmüller +93
Borexino is a liquid scintillator detector located at the Laboratori Nazionale del Gran Sasso, Italy with the main goal to measure solar neutrinos. The experiment recently provided…
First detection of CNO neutrinos with Borexino
G. Settanta, M. Agostini, K. Altenmüller +93
Neutrinos are elementary particles which are known since many years as fundamental messengers from the interior of the Sun. The Standard Solar Model, which gives a theoretical desc…
Neutron - mirror neutron mixing and neutron stars
Zurab Berezhiani, Riccardo Biondi, Massimo Mannarelli +1
The oscillation of neutrons into mirror neutrons , their mass degenerate partners from dark mirror sector, can have interesting implications for neutron stars: an ordinary…
New high-sensitivity searches for neutrons converting into antineutrons and/or sterile neutrons at the European Spallation Source
A. Addazi, K. Anderson, S. Ansell +92
The violation of Baryon Number, , is an essential ingredient for the preferential creation of matter over antimatter needed to account for the observed baryon asymmetr…
Experimental evidence of neutrinos produced in the CNO fusion cycle in the Sun
M. Agostini, K. Altenmüller, S. Appel +93
For most of their existence stars are fueled by the fusion of hydrogen into helium proceeding via two theoretically well understood processes, namely the chain and the CNO cyc…
On the Neutron Transition Magnetic Moment
Zurab Berezhiani, Riccardo Biondi, Yuri Kamyshkov +1
We discuss the possibility of the transition magnetic moments (TMM) between the neutron n and mirror neutron n', its hypothetical sterile twin from parallel particle "mirror" secto…
Monte Carlo simulation for Ultra-cold neutron experiments searching for neutron - mirror neutron oscillation
Riccardo Biondi
Neutron oscillation into mirror neutron, a sterile state exactly degenerate in mass with the neutron, could be a very rapid process, even faster than the neutron decay itself. It c…
Dark matter and IceCube neutrinos
Riccardo Biondi
We show that the excess of high energy neutrinos observed by the IceCube collaboration at energies above 100 TeV might originate from baryon number violating decays of heavy shadow…
Short-range correlation effects on the nuclear matrix element of neutrinoless double- decay
Omar Benhar, Riccardo Biondi, Enrico Speranza
We report the results of a calculation of the nuclear matrix element of neutrinoless double- decay of Ca, carried out taking into account nucleon-nucleon correlations in…
