It has been proposed that there could be a mirror copy of the standard model particles, restoring the parity symmetry in the weak interaction on the global level. Oscillations between a neutral standard model particle, such as the neutron,…
The precise value of the mean neutron lifetime, $\tau_n$, plays an important role in nuclear and particle physics and cosmology. It is a key input for predicting the ratio of protons to helium atoms in the primordial universe and is used to…
The new model of $n\bar{n}$ transitions in the medium based on unitary $S$-matrix is considered. The time-dependence and corrections to the model are studied. The lower limit on the free-space $n\bar{n}$ oscillation time $\tau $ is in the…
Optical atomic clocks have been rapidly developing in recent decades, resulting in major improvements in both precision and accuracy. As a result, they have become instrumental in multiple areas of applied and fundamental research. Despite…
A model of $n-n'$ (neutron-mirror neutron) oscillations is proposed under the framework of the mirror matter theory with slightly broken mirror symmetry. It resolves the neutron lifetime discrepancy, i.e., the 1% difference in neutron…
Tests on $B-L$ symmetry breaking models are important probes to search for new physics. One proposed model with $\Delta(B-L)=2$ involves the oscillations of a neutron to an antineutron. In this paper a new limit on this process is derived…
We present new limits on nu_e to nu_tau and nu_e to nu_sterile oscillations by searching for electron neutrino dissappearance in the high-energy wide-band CCFR neutrino beam. Sensitivity to nu_tau appearance comes from tau decay modes in…
The phenomenology of neutrino oscillations is extended to the neutron- antineutron oscillations predicted by the grand unified theories. There are six parameters in general describing the one-flavor oscillations: two real Majorana masses…
For neutrons bound inside nuclei, baryon instability can manifest itself as a decay into undetectable particles (e.g., $\it n \to \nu \nu \bar{\nu} $), i.e., as a disappearance of a neutron from its nuclear state. If electric charge is…
As a baryon number violating process with $\Delta B=2$, neutron-antineutron oscillation ($n\to\bar n$) provides a unique test of baryon number conservation. We have performed a search for $n\to\bar n$ oscillation with bound neutrons in…
Models that postulate the existence of hidden sectors address contemporary questions, such as the source of baryogenesis and the nature of dark matter. Among the possible mixing processes, neutron-to-hidden-neutron oscillations have been…
The precise value of the neutron lifetime is of fundamental importance to particle physics and cosmology. The neutron lifetime recently obtained, 878.5 +/- 0.7stat +/- 0.3sys s, is the most accurate one to date. The new result for the…
We examine the constraints on non-radiative decay of neutrinos from the observations of solar neutrino experiments. The standard oscillation hypothesis among three neutrinos solves the solar and atmospheric neutrino problems. Decay of a…
The KARMEN experiment at the spallation neutron source ISIS used \numub from \mup--decay at rest in the search for neutrino oscillations \numubnueb in the appearance mode, with p(\nueb,e+)n as detection reaction of \nueb. In total, 15…
The author considers a hypothesis of neutron lifetime splitting in beta-decay and shows that the beta-decay of neutrons could be described by the triad of lifetimes tau_{Left}, tau_{Mean}, tau_{Right}. The lifetime tau_{Left} is the…
Data from the Sudbury Neutrino Observatory have been used to constrain the lifetime for nucleon decay to ``invisible'' modes, such as n -> 3 nu. The analysis was based on a search for gamma-rays from the de-excitation of the residual…
We present limits on $\nu_\mu(\bar{\nu}_\mu)\to\nu_\tau(\bar{\nu}_\tau)$ and $\nu_\mu(\bar{\nu}_\mu)\to\nu_e(\bar{\nu}_e)$ oscillations based on a study of inclusive $\nu N$ interactions performed using the CCFR massive coarse grained…
We summarize our study of the neutron-antineutron transition in medium and nuclei in the framework of the field-theoretical approach. The models based on the diagram technique for direct reactions, potential description of…
Neutrino oscillation experiments and direct bounds on absolute masses constrain neutrino mass differences to fall into the microwave energy range, for most of the allowed parameter space. As a consequence of these recent phenomenological…
The discrepancy between the neutron lifetimes measured in the beam and trap experiments can be explained via the neutron $n$ conversion into mirror neutron $n'$, its dark partner from parallel mirror sector, provided that $n$ and $n'$ have…
