Bounds and Implications of Neutrino Magnetic Moments from Atmospheric Neutrino Data
نویسندگان
چکیده
The neutral current effects of the future high statistics atmospheric neutrino data can be used to distinguish the mechanisms between a νμ oscillation to a tau neutrino or to a sterile neutrino. However, if neutrinos possess large diagonal and/or transition magnetic moments, the neutrino magnetic moments can contribute to the neutral current effects which can be studied by the single π0 production events in the Super-K data. This effect should be included in the future analyses of atmospheric data in the determination of νμ to tau or sterile neutrino oscillation.

Neutrino Magnetic Moments and Atmospheric Neutrinos
I review the history on neutrino magnetic moments and apply the neurino magnetic moment idea to constrain its bound from Super-Kamiokande neutrino oscillation data.
متن کاملNeutrino Properties Before and After KamLAND
We review neutrino oscillation physics, including the determination of mass splittings and mixings from current solar, atmospheric, reactor and accelerator neutrino data. A brief discussion is given of cosmological and astrophysical implications. Non-oscillation phenomena such as neutrinoless double beta decay would, if discovered, probe the absolute scale of neutrino mass and also reveal their...
متن کاملConstraining neutrino magnetic moment with solar and reactor neutrino data
We use solar neutrino data to derive stringent bounds on Majorana neutrino transition moments (TMs). Such moments, if present, would contribute to the neutrino– electron scattering cross section and hence alter the signal observed in Super-Kamiokande. Using the latest solar neutrino data, combined with the results of the reactor experiment KamLAND, we perform a simultaneous fit of the oscillati...
متن کاملMagnetic Moments of Dirac Neutrinos
The existence of a neutrino magnetic moment implies contributions to the neutrino mass via radiative corrections. We derive model-independent "naturalness" upper bounds on the magnetic moments of Dirac neutrinos, generated by physics above the electroweak scale. The neutrino mass receives a contribution from higher order operators, which are renormalized by operators responsible for the neutrin...
متن کاملStimulated Neutrino Conversion and Bounds on Neutrino Magnetic Moments
Recent experiment proposed to observe induced radiative neutrino transitions are confronted to existing bounds on neutrino magnetic moments from earthbased experiments. These are found to exclude any observation by several orders of magnitude, unless the magnetic moments are assumed to be strongly momentum dependent. This possibility is discussed in some generality, and we find that nontrivial ...
