Gauged $$B-L$$ B - L number and neutron–antineutron oscillation: long-range forces mediated by baryophotons
Abstract Transformation of a neutron to an antineutron $$n \rightarrow {\tilde{n}} $$ n → n ~ has not yet been experimentally observed. In principle, it can occur with free neutrons in the vacuum or with neutrons bound inside the nuclei. In a nuclear medium the neutron and the antineutron have diffe...
