Novel neutron decay mode inside neutron stars

چکیده

We explore the suggestion that neutron lifetime puzzle might be resolved by neutrons decaying into dark matter through process, n \rightarrow \chi\chi\chi, with \chi having a mass one third of neutron. In particular, we examine consequences such decay mode for properties stars. Unlike an earlier suggested mode, in order to satisfy constraints on star and tidal deformability, there is no need strong repulsive force between particles. This study suggests possibility hot at core presents possible mechanism cooling, examines signal this way inside right after its birth.

Magnetic Field Decay in Isolated Neutron Stars

We investigate three mechanisms that promote the loss of magnetic flux from an isolated neutron star. Ohmic decay produces a diffusion of the magnetic field with respect to the charged particles. It proceeds at a rate that is inversely proportional to the electric conductivity and independent of the magnetic field strength. Ohmic decay occurs in both the fluid core and solid crust of a neutron ...

A Novel Neutron Dosimeter

Background: Neutron contamination in our environment can cause harmful biological effects on human body. Therefore, many efforts have been made to construct a neutron dosimeter to estimate the received dose. Objective: To design a simple neutron dosimeter. Methods: The primary dosimeter had 3He as a spherical thermal neutron detector encircled by paraffin 10 cm in radius. Then, the paraffin sph...

Proto-neutron and Neutron Stars

It has been shown that effective chiral hadronic models can satisfactorily describe nuclear matter, properties of finite nuclei as well as the structure of neutron stars1. While most of the approaches are based on variations of the linear sigma model or its non-linear realization, in the approach discussed here the scalar sigma meson serves to split the nucleon and its chiral partner (particle ...

Neutron Stars

9 Black holes and neutron stars are fascinating objects with great potential for testing physical theories in extreme conditions. The gravitational fields near these objects provide an opportunity for tests of General Relativity in the strong-field limit and the properties of matter at the remarkably high densities that exist within neutron stars are unknown. While many of these objects are in ...

Possible Signatures of Quark-hadron Phase Transitions inside Neutron Stars

The sky has long been a successful test ground and discovery site for fundamental physics. Examples include the discovery of Helium from the solar spectrum in 1868, evidence for gravity waves from binary pulsars 1 in 1978, and more recently in 1985, the discovery of Bucky Balls (C60), though not directly in the sky, through experiments designed to simulate environments near stars in favor of fo...
