Neutrino-photon scattering and its crossed processes in a background magnetic field
نویسندگان
چکیده
We study the neutrino-photon processes such as γγ → νν̄ and νγ → νγ in a background magnetic field smaller than the critical magnetic field Bc ≡ me/e. Using Schwinger’s proper-time method, we extract leading magneticfield contributions to the above processes. Our result is valid throughout the kinematic regime where both neutrino and photon energies are significantly smaller than mW . We briefly discuss the astrophysical implications of our result.

متن کاملFive-leg photon–neutrino interactions
In a first part, we justify the feasibility of substituting a photon leg by a neutrino current in the Euler–Heisenberg Lagrangian to obtain an effective Lagrangian for the process γν → γγν and its crossed reactions. We establish the link between these processes and the four-photon scattering in both the Standard Model and the effective theory. As an application, we compute in this effective the...

We justify the feasibility of substituting a photon leg by a neutrino current in the Euler-Heisenberg Lagrangian to obtain an effective Lagrangian for the process gn→ggn and its crossed reactions. We establish the link between these processes and the four-photon scattering in both the standard model and the effective theory. As an application, we compute the processes gn→ggn and gg→gnn̄ , give t...

For neutrino scattering from polarized electron, the weak interaction term in the cross section is significantly suppressed by the polarized term. The magnetic moment term does not receive any correction from the electron polarization. Hence, the study of the magnetic moment of neutrinos through scattering from the polarized electron leads to a stronger bound on the neutrino magnetic moment com...
متن کاملThe Influence of Strong Magnetic Field on Photon-neutrino Reactions
The two-photon two-neutrino interaction induced by magnetic field is investigated. In particular the processes γγ → νν̄ and γ → γνν̄ are studied in the presence of strong magnetic field. An effective Lagrangian and partial amplitudes of the processes are presented. Neutrino emissivities due to the reactions γγ → νν̄ and γ → γνν̄ are calculated taking into account of the photon dispersion and large ...
