摘要
Rare processes in laboratory and within astrophysical environments can be highly sensitive probes of baryon-number-violating interactions at the TeV scale. We demonstrate the power of neutron stars to constrain baryon-number violation by considering a minimal extension of the standard model involving a TeV-mass scalar mediator and a GeV scale Majorana fermion yi . We find that a Delta B = 2 mass-loss process in binary pulsar systems via n-* yyi and the subsequent scattering yin-* pi-K+ places stringent constraints on the model parameter space. These limits will become much stronger, due to the possibility of Lambda-* yyi decays at the tree level, if the neutron star equation of state is hyperonic. We compare these constraints with ongoing and future collider experiments, n - n <overline> oscillations, and dinucleon decay searches at future largescale neutrino experiments, finding that the binary pulsars bounds on couplings are significantly tighter for specific flavor combinations.
