Technology is ready for various laboratory tests on the new mirror-matter model. The predicted new physics could be discovered right around the corner. If you are an experimental physicist, you may be interested in conducting such tests. See arXiv:1906.10262 for details or the following for a brief summary:
The immediate laboratory tests could be categorized in three different decay systems of neutrons, mesons, and nuclei, i.e., n-n’ oscillations, K-K’ oscillations, and halo nuclei decays, as shown below.
- UCN decays in magnetic traps with different geometries for different mean free flight times,
- decays of cold neutrons through strong magnetic fields (e.g., B ~ 50 T),
- decays of cold neutrons in scintillation detectors made of liquid 4He, heavy water, or other nearly absorption-free dense materials,
- branching fractions of \(K^0_L\) and \(K^0_S\) invisible decays,
- better measurements of \(K_{l3}\), \(K^{\pm}_{\mu 2}\), \(\pi^{\pm}_{\mu 2}\), and \(\pi\) beta decays combined with better lattice QCD calculations,
- and branching ratios of \(\beta p/\beta’ p’\) decays of 11Be and other one-neutron halo nuclei like 17C, 19C, and 31Ne.
Future tests with more advanced technology could also be conducted for D-D’, B-B’, and H-H’ oscillations.
