Neutron-mirror neutron oscillations in stars
Abstract
Based on a newly proposed mirror-matter model of neutron-mirror neutron () oscillations [Phys. Lett. B 797, 134921 (2019)], evolution and nucleosynthesis in single stars under a new theory is presented. In the new model, oscillations are caused by a very small mass difference between particles of the two sectors. The new theory with the new model can demonstrate the evolution in a much more convincing way than the conventional belief. In particular, many observations in stars show strong support for the new theory and the new model. For example, progenitor mass limits and structures for white dwarfs and neutron stars, two different types of core collapse supernovae (II-P and II-L), synthesis of heavy elements, pulsating phenomena in stars, etc, can all be easily and naturally explained under the new theory.
