Abstract: | The binary X-ray source Cyg X-3, a known gamma ray emitter, was recently seen to be emmitting a new type of neutral radiation producing muons detected in deep underground experiments. Here an explanation is offered for the deviation of the observed muon directions from that of Cyg X-3. A new underground experiment is suggested to verify the explanation. The new observations enjoying reduced backgrounds will help establish the phenomenon with enormously improved statistical significance. The nature of the neutral radiation, however, remains obscure. |
