The possibility of a neutron transforming into a hidden sector particle remains intriguingly open. Theoretical models propose that the hidden sector can be represented by a mirror sector, where the neutron n can oscillate into its nearly identical mirror twin n'. These oscillations can occur in vacuum or in an environment with regular matter and a magnetic field.
The possibility that a neutron can be transformed to a hidden sector particle remains intriguingly open. Proposed theoretical models conjecture that the hidden sector can be represented by a mirror sector, and the neutron n can oscillate into its sterile mirror twin n & PRIME;, exactly or nearly degenerate in mass with n. Oscillations n-n & PRIME; can take place in vacuum or in an environment containing regular matter and a magnetic field, in which only the neutron will be subject to interactions with the environment. We describe the propagation of the oscillating n-n & PRIME; system in a cold neutron beam passing through dense absorbing materials in connection to the possible regeneration type of experiments, where the effect of n & RARR;n & PRIME;& RARR;n transformation can be observed.
