The discovery of neutron–antineutron (n) oscillations could answer crucial questions of particle physics and cosmology. Why do we observe more matter than antimatter in the Universe? At what energy scales do new phenomena occur? Another related intriguing subject potentially accessible with this process concerns the mechanism responsible for neutrino mass generation. The construction of the European Spallation Source (ESS) offers a remarkable opportunity to perform a sensitive experiment dedicated to the search of such oscillations. Indeed, the high neutron flux expected at this facility, combined with the important progress made in neutron optics, will enable this experiment to gather all the necessary conditions for establishing possible new physics coming from energy scales beyond the reach of colliders that can have a strong impact on our understanding of the Universe.
