Neutrino Oscillation and Magnetic Moment from ν − e − Elastic Scattering
نویسنده
چکیده
We discuss how the measurement of the ν̄e− e− elastic cross section at reactor energies can be used to extract new information on the neutrino oscillation parameters. We also consider the magnetic moment contribution and show how both effects tend to cancel each other when the total cross section is measured; to achieve the separation of each of the effects, experiments capable of measuring angular and energy distributions with respect to the outgoing electron become necessary. We study how their different energy and angle dependence enables such a separation; then, the sensitivity to magnetic moments, masses and mixings is discussed. We also show how these experiments can be sensitive to the magnetic moment of τ neutrinos via ν̄e ↔ ν̄μ oscillation.

It is shown that recent results from the Super-Kamiokande detector constrain the tau neutrino diagonal magnetic moment to µ ντ < 1.2 × 10 −7 µ B for the case of ν µ → ν τ interpretation of the atmospheric neutrino anomaly. It is pointed out that the large magnetic moment of the tau neutrino could affect further understanding of the origin of the anomaly. Recent results from the Super-Kamiokande...
متن کاملNeutrino Mass and Magnetic Moment from Neutrino-electron Scattering
We study both the elastic (νe → νe) and the radiative process (νe → νeγ) and discuss how these processes can shed light on some current topics in neutrino physics such as a neutrino magnetic moment and neutrino oscillations. The radiative process allows to reach low values of Q without the need to operate at very small energies of recoil electrons, a favourable scenario to search for a neutrino...
