Artificially induced positronium oscillations in a two-sheeted spacetime: consequences on the observed decay processes

TL;DR

This paper proposes that positronium can oscillate between two spacetime sheets under certain magnetic conditions, affecting decay rates, and suggests experimental methods to observe this novel invisible decay mode.

Contribution

It introduces a new theoretical model predicting positronium oscillations between spacetime sheets and proposes experimental setups to detect this phenomenon.

Findings

Positronium oscillations could alter decay rates.

Magnetic vector potentials influence oscillation behavior.

Potential for observing invisible decay modes in experiments.

Abstract

Following recent theoretical results, it is suggested that positronium (Ps) might undergo spontaneous oscillations between two 4D spacetime sheets whenever subjected to constant irrotational magnetic vector potentials. We show that these oscillations that would come together with o-Ps/p-Ps oscillations should have important consequences on Ps decay rates. Experimental setup and conditions are also suggested for demonstrating in non accelerator experiments this new invisible decay mode.
