neutron–mirror neutron oscillations
The existence of a mirror world holding a copy of our ordinary particle spectrum could lead to oscillations between the neutron (n) and its mirror partner (n0). Such oscillations could manifest themselves in storage experiments with ultracold neutrons whose storage lifetime would depend on the applied magnetic field. Here, extended details and measurements from the first dedicated experimental ...
متن کاملSearching for Mirror Neutron - Neutron Oscillations
The corner stone of standard model of particle physics is the Lorentz symmetry (a special result of which is Einstein’s special theory of relativity). It was shown by G. Lüders and Pauli that Lorentz symmetry translates to the join conservation of the three discrete symmetries of Charge inversion, Parity inversion and Time inversion [1, 2]. This equivalence is known as CPT theorem. Weak nuclear...
متن کاملNeutron Background Studies for the CRESST Dark Matter Experiment
The new detection concept applied for the direct WIMP search experiment CRESST II, which enables a clear discrimination between electron recoils and nuclear recoils, will leave neutrons as the main background. This background will soon limit the sensitivity of the experiment and therefore become an important issue for the next phase of CRESST. We have performed a study based on Monte Carlo simu...
متن کاملNeutron beam test of CsI crystal for dark matter search
We have studied the response of Tl-doped and Na-doped CsI crystals to nuclear recoils and γ’s below 10 keV. The response of CsI crystals to nuclear recoil was studied with mono-energetic neutrons produced by the H(p,n)He reaction. This was compared to the response to Compton electrons scattered by 662 keV γ-ray. Pulse shape discrimination between the response to these γ’s and nuclear recoils wa...
متن کاملOn the experimental search for neutron→mirror neutron oscillations
Fast neutron→mirror neutron (n → n′) oscillations were proposed recently as the explanation of the GZK puzzle. We discuss possible laboratory experiments to search for such oscillations and to improve the present very weak constraints on the value of the n → n′ oscillation probability.
