Beta limitation of matter-antimatter boundary layers

A model has earlier been proposed for a boundary layer which separates a cloud of matter from one of antimatter in a magnetized ambiplasma. In this model steady pressure equilibrium ceases to exist when a certain beta limit is exceeded. The latter is defined as the ratio between the ambiplasma and magnetic field pressures which balance each other in the boundary layer. Thus, at an increasing density, the high-energy particles created by annihilation within the layer are pumped up to a pressure which cannot be balanced by a given magnetic field. The boundary layer then disrupts. The critical beta limit thus obtained falls within the observed parameter ranges of galaxies and other large cosmical objects. Provided that the considered matter-antimatter balance holds true, this limit is thus expected to impose certain existence conditions on matter-antimatter boundary layers. Such a limitation may apply to certain cosmical objects and cosmological models. The maximum time-scale for the corresponding disruption development has been estimated to be in a range from about 10^–4 to 10²s for boundary layers at ambiplasma particle densities in the range from 10⁴ to 10^–2 m^–3, respectively.
