Description
An ORNL-UTK-UW-Harvard group is exploring the possibility of performing a new experiment to search for neutron-antineutron transitions either at the ORNL HFIR reactor or at a new proposed neutron spallation source. The advanced layout, based on a large mirror focusing reflector, proposed for this experiment should allow improving the discovery potential of an n→n transition search by 3-4 orders of magnitude, as compared to the most recent similar experiment at ILL-Grenoble. It should be possible to establish a limit for the characteristic transition time of τnantin0>1010 seconds. (orig.)
