ASTROPHYSICAL IMPLICATIONS OF THE MIRROR WORLD WITH BROKEN MIRROR PARITY

We discuss the physics of the mirror (shadow) world which is completel y analogous to the visible one except that its 'weak' scale is larger by one or two orders of magnitude than the weak scale in the standard model. The mirror neutrinos can mix the ordinary ones through the Plan ck scale induced higher order operators, which can help to reconcile t he present neutrino puzzles that are the solar and atmospheric neutrin o deficits, the recent LSND anomaly and the need in the similar to eV mass neutrino as the hot dark matter. In particular, the oscillation o f nu(e), into its mirror partner nu(e)' emerges with parameters natura lly in the MSW range. The nucleosynthesis constraint on the extra ligh t particle species can be fulfilled by assuming the asymmetric postinf lationary reheating between the usual and mirror worlds. One implicati on of our proposal is that bulk of the dark matter in the universe may be a warm dark matter consisting of the keV range mirror neutrinos ra ther than the conventional cold dark matter, while the mirror baryons can also contribute as dissipative dark matter. Implications of the mi rror Machos for microlensing experiments are also discussed.
