First application of a liquid argon time projection chamber for the search for intranuclear neutron-antineutron transitions and annihilation in 40 Ar using the MicroBooNE detector
We present a novel methodology to search for intranuclear neutron-antineutron transition (n⟶n̅) followed by n̅-nucleon annihilation within an 40Ar nucleus, using the MicroBooNE liquid argon time projection chamber (LArTPC) detector. A discovery of n⟶n̅ transition or a new best limit on the lifetime...
