Scientific paper

This paper outlines the problems of the quasi-steady matter-antimatter boundary layers discussed in Klein-Alfven's (1962) cosmological theory, and a crude model of the corresponding ambiplasma balance is presented. At interstellar particle densities, no well-defined boundary layer can exist in presence of neutral gas, nor can such a layer be sustained in an unmagnetized fully ionized ambiplasma. Within the limits of applicability of the model, sharply defined boundary layers are under certain conditions found to exist in a magnetized ambiplasma. Thus, at beta values less than unity, a steep pressure drop of the low-energy components of matter and antimatter can be balanced by a magnetic field and the electric currents in the ambiplasma. The boundary layer thickness is obtained in terms of the magnetic-field strength and the characteristic temperature of the low-energy components in the layer.
