Description

I shall discuss the possibility of dark matter being a "baryonic" matter of a dark gauge sector which is a replica of the Standard Model, so called mirror world. In particular, I discuss the phenomenological and astrophysical implications of the neutron mixing with its sterile mirror twin, namely for the neutron stars and cosmic rays.
