From transition magnetic moments to majorana neutrino masses
نویسنده
چکیده
It is well known that a majorana mass induces a (small) transition magnetic moment. The converse is also true; in this paper we estimate the loop contribution of transition magnetic moments [μ]αβ to the neutrino mass matrix [m]αβ . We show that for hierarchical neutrino masses, the contribution of [μ]eτ to [m]eτ can exceed the experimental value of [m]eτ .

Transition magnetic moment of Majorana neutrinos in the μνSSM
The nonzero vacuum expectative values of sneutrinos induce spontaneously R-parity and lepton number violation, and generate three tiny Majorana neutrino masses through the seesaw mechanism in the μνSSM, which is one of Supersymmetric extensions beyond Standard Model. Applying effective Lagrangian method, we study the transition magnetic moment of Majorana neutrinos in the model here. Under the ...
متن کاملNeutrino Magnetic Moments and Minimal Supersymmetric SO(10) Model
We examine supersymmetric contributions to transition magnetic moments of Majorana neutrinos. We first give the general formula for it. In concrete evaluations, informations of neutrino mass matrix elements including CP phases are necessary. Using unambiguously determined neutrino mass matrices in recently proposed minimal supersymmetric SO(10) model, the transition magnetic moments are calcula...
متن کاملThree Flavour Majorana Neutrinos with Magnetic Moments in a Supernova
The resonant transition effects MSW and NSFP for three flavour Majorana neutrinos in a supernova are considered, where the transition magnetic moments are likely to play a relevant role in neutrino physics. In this scenario, the deformed thermal neutrino distributions are obtained for different choices of the electron-tau mixing angle. Detailed predictions for the future large neutrino detector...
متن کاملBounds on neutrino transition magnetic moments in random magnetic fields
We consider the conversions of active to sterile Majorana neutrinos νa and νs, due to neutrino transition magnetic moments in the presence of random magnetic fields (r.m.f.) generated at the electroweak phase transition. From a simple Schrödinger-type evolution equation, we derive a stringent constraint on the corresponding transition magnetic moments and display it as a function of the domain ...
متن کاملSupernova prompt neutronization neutrinos and neutrino magnetic moments
It is shown that the combined action of spin-flavor conversions of supernova neutrinos due to the interactions of their Majorana-type transition magnetic moments with the supernova magnetic fields and flavor conversions due to the mass mixing can lead to the transformation of νe born in the neutronization process into their antiparticles ν̄e. Such an effect would have a clear experimental signat...
