NEUTRINO–ELECTRON PROCESSES IN A DENSE MAGNETIZED PLASMA

Neutrino-electron scattering in a dense magnetized plasma.

We derive general expressions for the cross section of neutrino scattering on electrons in dense, hot stellar matter, in the presence of strong magnetic fields. Numerical calculations of the scattering cross sections at various densities, temperatures and magnetic fields, are performed. Strong, quantizing magnetic fields modify significantly the angular and energy dependence of the scattering c...

Neutrino - electron processes in a strongly magnetized e−e+ plasma

An influence of the magnetized electron positron plasma on a process of neutrino propagation is investigated. A total contribution of all crossed processes, νe → νe, νe → νe, ν → νee, νee → ν, is found for the first time, which appears not to depend on the chemical potential of electron-positron gas. Relatively simple expressions for the probability and mean losses of the neutrino energy and mo...

Neutrino-electron processes in a dense maqnetized plasma

The neutrino-electron processes in a dense strongly degenerate magnetized plasma are analyzed in the framework of the Standard Model. The total probability and the mean values of the neutrino energy and momentum losses are calculated. It is shown that neutrino scattering on the excited electrons with Landau level number conservation dominates under the conditions μ2 > eB ≫ μT but does not give ...
