Abstract

Polarization of photons emitted in weak decays occurring at distant star makes it possible to determine whether this star is made from antimatter. The observation of neutrinos (antineutrinos) produced at neutronization (antineutronization) reactions at the beginning of SN \(\left( {\overline {SN} } \right)\) explosion is even more promising.
