On the $n\bar{n}$ transitions in the medium

TL;DR

This paper examines corrections and additional baryon-number-violating processes in neutron-antineutron transitions within a medium, emphasizing their distinct time-dependent behaviors compared to the basic annihilation process.

Contribution

It introduces new considerations for baryon-number-violating processes and analyzes their impact on the time dependence of neutron-antineutron transitions in a medium.

Findings

Corrections to the $n\bar{n}$ transition model are identified.

Different time-dependence behaviors are established for various processes.

Implications for baryon-number violation detection are discussed.

Abstract

The corrections to the model of $n\bar{n}$ transitions in the medium and additional baryon-number-violating processes are considered. We focus on the time-dependence since it is different for the $n\bar{n}$ transition followed by annihilation (basic process) and processes mentioned above.
