Mirror matter
A. Yu. Ignatiev, R. R. Volkas
Abstract
One of the deepest unsolved puzzles of subatomic physics is why Nature prefers the left particles to the right ones. Mirror matter is an attempt to understand this mystery by assuming the existence of a "parallel''world where this preference is exactly opposite. Thus in the Universe consisting of the ordinary and the mirror matter the symmetry between the left and right is completely restored. Mirror matter is constrained to interact with us only very weakly. Still, its existence can be inferred by using experimental evidence such as the observation of astrophysical objects related to the dark matter (MACHO), neutrino physics and other sources. This talk will focus on several key aspects of mirror matter physics including the possible existence of mirror matter inside the Earth and the suggestion that the recently observed "isolated" planets may in fact be orbiting around mirror stars.
