Abstract: (AIP)
Formation of a neutron star is accompanied by neutrino emission carrying about 10% of the rest energy of the star. Toroidal field produced by twisting of a dipole field in differentially rotating star is antisymmetric. Its summation with antisymmetric toroidal field results in braking of mirror symmetry of the magnetic field. For large magnetic field the neutron decay rate depends on its strength. Neutrino is emitted more in one direction leading to flux asymmetry and recoil of the neutron star. Estimations show that the neutron star can reach velocities ∼1000 km/s for 3% asymmetry of the neutrino flux.- Neutrinos
