| In [[physics]], '''mirror matter''', also called '''shadow matter''' or '''Alice matter''', is a hypothetical counterpart to ordinary matter.
| |
| Modern physics deals with three basic types of spatial [[symmetry]]: reflection, rotation and translation. The known elementary particles respect rotation and translation symmetry but do not respect [[P-symmetry|mirror reflection symmetry]] (also called P-symmetry or parity). Of the four fundamental interactions—[[electromagnetism]], the [[strong interaction]], the [[weak interaction]], and [[gravitation|gravity]]—only the weak interaction breaks parity.
| |
|
| |
|
| Parity violation in weak interactions was first postulated by [[Tsung Dao Lee]] and [[Chen Ning Yang]]<ref name="lee">T. D. Lee and C. N. Yang, ''Question of Parity Conservation in Weak Interactions'', Phys. Rev. '''104''', 254–258 (1956) [http://link.aps.org/abstract/PR/v104/p254 article], Erratum ibid '''106''', 1371 (1957) [http://link.aps.org/abstract/PR/v106/p1371 Erratum]</ref> in 1956 as a solution to the [[Kaon#Parity violation|τ-θ puzzle]]. They suggested a number of experiments to test if the weak interaction is invariant under parity. These experiments were performed half a year later and they confirmed that the weak interactions of the known particles violate parity.<ref name="wu">C. S. Wu, E. Ambler, R. W. Hayward, D. D.

| Mirror matter, if it exists, would have to be very weakly interacting with ordinary matter. This is because the forces between mirror particles are mediated by mirror [[boson]]s. With the exception of the [[graviton]], none of the known bosons can be identical to their mirror partners. The only way mirror matter can interact with ordinary matter via forces other than gravity is via so-called ''kinetic mixing'' of mirror bosons with ordinary bosons or via the exchange of [[Holdom particle]]s.<ref>http://www.bbc.co.uk/dna/h2g2/A1164052</ref> These interactions can only be very weak. Mirror particles have therefore been suggested as candidates for the inferred [[dark matter]] in the universe.<ref name="blin1">S. I. Blinnikov and M. Yu.

| In another context, mirror matter has been proposed to give rise to an effective [[Higgs mechanism]] responsible for the [[electroweak]] symmetry breaking. In such a scenario, mirror [[fermion]]s have masses on the order of 1 TeV since they interact with an additional interaction, while some of the mirror [[boson]]s are identical to the ordinary gauge [[bosons]]. In order to emphasize the distinction of this model from the ones above, these mirror particles are usually called [[katoptron]]s.<ref name=katoptrons>G.

| ==Observational effects of mirror matter==
| |
| If mirror matter is present in the universe with sufficient abundance then its gravitational effects can be detected. Because mirror matter is analogous to ordinary matter, it is then to be expected that a fraction of the mirror matter exists in the form of mirror galaxies, mirror stars, mirror planets etc. These objects can be detected using gravitational [[microlensing]].<ref name="mohapatra">R. N. Mohapatra and V. L. Teplitz, ''Mirror matter MACHOs.'' Phys. Lett. B, '''462''', 302 - 309 (1999) [http://adsabs.harvard.edu/abs/1999PhLB..462..302M article].</ref> One would also expect that some fraction of stars have mirror objects as their companion. In such cases one should be able to detect periodic [[Doppler shift]]s in the spectrum of the star.<ref name="khlp"/> There are some hints that such effects may already have been observed.<ref name="foot1">R. Foot, ''Have mirror stars been observed?'', Phys. Lett. B '''452''', 83-86 (1999) [http://arxiv.org/abs/astro-ph/9902065 preprint].</ref><ref name="foot2">R. Foot, ''Have mirror planets been observed?'', Phys. Lett. B '''471''', 191-194 (1999) [http://arxiv.org/abs/astro-ph/9908276 preprint].</ref>
| |
| | |
| What if mirror matter does exist but has (almost) zero abundance? Like [[magnetic monopole]]s, mirror matter could have been diluted to unobservably low densities during the [[Cosmic inflation|inflation]] epoch. [[Sheldon Lee Glashow|Sheldon Glashow]] has shown that if at some high energy scale particles exist which interact strongly with both ordinary and mirror particles, [[Effective field theory|radiative corrections]] will lead to a mixing between [[photon]]s and [[mirror photon]]s.<ref name="glas">S. L. Glashow, ''Positronium versus the mirror universe'', Phys. Lett. B '''167''', 35-36 (1986) [http://dx.doi.org/10.1016/0370-2693(86)90540-X article].</ref> This mixing has the effect of giving mirror electric charges a very small ordinary electric charge. Another effect of photon-mirror photon mixing is that it induces oscillations between [[positronium]] and mirror positronium. Positronium could then turn into mirror positronium and then decay into mirror photons.
| |
| | |
| The mixing between photons and mirror photons could be present in tree level [[Feynman diagram]]s or arise as a consequence of quantum corrections due to the presence of particles that carry both ordinary and mirror charges. In the latter case, the quantum corrections have to vanish at the one and two loop level Feynman diagrams, otherwise the predicted value of the kinetic mixing parameter would be larger than experimentally allowed.<ref name="glas"/>
| |
| | |
| An experiment to measure this effect is currently being planned.<ref name="bad">A. Badertscher ''et al.'', ''An apparatus to search for mirror dark matter via the invisible decay of orthopositronium in vacuum'', Int. J. Mod. Phys. A '''19''', 3833-3848 (2004) [http://arxiv.org/abs/hep-ex/0311031 preprint].</ref>
| |
| | |
| If mirror matter does exist in large abundances in the universe and if it interacts with ordinary matter via photon-mirror photon mixing, then this could be detected in dark matter direct detection experiments such as [[DAMA/NaI]] and its successor [[DAMA/LIBRA]]. In fact, it is one of the few dark matter candidates which can explain

| ==Alternate terminology==
| |
| The phrase "mirror matter" was also introduced by physicist and author Dr. [[Robert L. Forward]] as an alternative term for what is commonly called [[antimatter]], in an attempt to emphasize that antimatter is identical to ordinary matter, except reversed in all possible ways (i.e., CPT). (Forward was apparently not aware of the use of the word "mirror particles" by Russian physicists to mean parity reversed matter that does not interact strongly with "ordinary" matter). This is elucidated in his book ''Mirror Matter: Pioneering Antimatter Physics''<ref name="forw">R. L. Forward and J. Davis, 'Mirror Matter: Pioneering Antimatter Physics'' John Wiley & Sons Inc (March 1988); Backinprint.com (2001).</ref> (1988), and his editing the small review journal ''Mirror Matter Newsletter'' (1986–1990). However, this use of the term "mirror matter" for antimatter was never widely picked up by others and is not currently in common use.
