Recent nonmagnetized studies of binary neutron star mergers have indicated the possibility of identifying equation of state features, such as a phase transition or a quark-hadron crossover, based on the frequency shift of the main peak in…
It is known that if neutrino is a Dirac fermion with magnetic moment, then \nu_L -> \nu_R -> \nu_L transition of supernova neutrinos may occur. The first stage of such transition is due to the neutrino spin flip inside the hot dense…
Neutrino oscillation experiments require a precise measurement of the neutrino energy. However, the kinematic detection of the final-state neutron in the neutrino interaction is missing in current neutrino oscillation experiments. The…
We present here a neutron diffraction study, both in zero field and as a function of magnetic field, of the magnetic structure of the tetragonal intermetallic \eun\ on a single crystalline sample. This material is known to undergo a cascade…
We study the invisible decay of neutral hadrons in a representative model of the dark sector. The mesons $K_L$ and $B^0$ decay into the dark sector with branching rates that can be at the current experimental limits. The neutron decays with…
Existing bounds on the neutron-antineutron mass mixing, $\epsilon_{n\bar n} < {\rm few} \times 10^{-24}$ eV, impose a severe upper limit on $n - \bar n$ transition probability, $P_{n\bar n}(t) < (t/0.1 ~{\rm s})^2 \times 10^{-18}$ or so,…
The recent global fit of short baseline neutrino oscillation data favors the presence of one (or more) sterile neutrino state which leads to new mass splitting \Delta m^2 ~1 eV^2. We consider the effect of this new states on the evolution…
We point out that relic neutrinos from the Big Bang may induce the parametric fluorescence in atomic or molecular systems, which offers a novel way to discover cosmic neutrino background. By coherently scattering with molecular energy…
We consider in detail a possibility that the observed neutrino oscillations are due to refraction on ultralight scalar boson dark matter. We introduce the refractive mass squared, $\tilde{m}^2$, and study its properties: dependence on…
We observe shift in the zero magnetic field resonance as the handedness of resonantly interacting circularly polarized light is changed. The characteristic of the shift resembles with the Zeeman light shift that arises due to interaction of…
We calculate the transition radiation process $\nu \to \nu \gamma$ at an interface of magnetic field and vacuum. The neutrinos are taken to be with only standard-model couplings. The magnetic field fulfills the dual purpose of inducing an…
This paper models light scattering through flat surfaces with finite transmission, reflection and absorption rates, with wave packets approaching the mirror from both sides. While using the same notion of photons as in free space, our model…
We prove that a resonance enhancement of neutrino oscillations in magnetic field is possible due to transition magnetic moments and demonstrate that this resonance is strictly connected to the neutrino polarization. To study the main…
We propose a general method to self-consistently study the quasistationary evolution of the magnetic field in the cores of neutron stars. The traditional approach to this problem is critically revised. Our results are illustrated by…
Sterile neutrinos are studied as subdominant contribution to solar neutrino physics. The mirror-matter neutrinos are considered as sterile neutrinos. We use the symmetric mirror model with gravitational communication between mirror and…
Neutrino oscillations are studied employing sources of low energy monoenergetic neutrinos following electron capture by the nucleus and measuring electron recoils. Since the neutrino energy is very low the oscillation length appearing in…
The mirror twin Higgs model is a candidate for (strongly-interacting) complex dark matter, which mirrors SM interactions with heavier quark masses. A consequence of this model are mirror neutron stars -- exotic stars made entirely of mirror…
The presence of a large applied magnetic field removes the degeneracy of the vacuum energy states for spin-up and spin-down neutrons. For polarized neutron reflectometry, this must be included in the reference potential energy of the…
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 oscillaions and to improve the present very weak constraints on the…
The reflection of an optical wave from a metal, arising from strong interactions between the optical electric field and the free carriers of the metal, is accompanied by a phase reversal of the reflected electric field. A far less common…
