Abstract: We construct a surprisingly large class of new Calabi-Yau 3-folds with small Picard numbers and propose a construction of their mirrors using smoothings of toric hypersurfaces with conifold singularities. These new examples are related to the previously known ones via conifold transitions. Our results generalize the mirror construction for Calabi-Yau complete intersections in Grassmannians and flag manifolds via toric degenerations. There exist exactly 198849 reflexive 4-polytopes whose 2-faces are only triangles or parallelograms of minimal volume. Every such polytope gives rise to a family of Calabi-Yau hypersurfaces with at worst conifold singularities. Using a criterion of Namikawa we found 30241 reflexive 4-polytopes such that the corresponding Calabi-Yau hypersurfaces are smoothable by a flat deformation. In particular, we found 210 reflexive 4-polytopes defining 68 topologically different Calabi--Yau 3-folds with . We explain the mirror construction and compute several new Picard--Fuchs operators for the respective 1-parameter families of mirror Calabi-Yau 3-folds.
