Constraints on neutron–mirror-neutron oscillation from neutron star cooling
Abstract We address a method of limiting neutron–mirror neutron mixing ( $$\epsilon _{nn'}$$ ϵ n n ′ ) by analyzing its effect on neutron star (NS) heating. This method employs observational bounds on the surface temperature of NSs to constrain $$\epsilon _{nn'}$$ ϵ n n ′ . It has been sug...
