A sensitive search for neutron-antineutron oscillations can provide a unique\nprobe of some of the central questions in particle physics and cosmology: the\nenergy scale and mechanism for baryon number violation, the origin of the\nbaryon-antibaryon asymmetry of the universe, and the mechanism for neutrino\nmass generation. A remarkable opportunity has emerged to search for such\noscillations with the construction of the European Spallation Source (ESS). A\ncollaboration has been formed which has proposed a search at the ESS, which\nwould provide a sensitivity to the oscillation probability which is three\norders of magnitude greater than that achieved at an ILL experiment at which\nthe present best limit on free neutron-antineutron oscillations was obtained.\n
