Photon-Neutrino Interactions in Magnetic Field through Neutrino Magnetic Moment
نویسنده
چکیده
We study the neutrino-photon processes like γγ → νν̄ in the presence of uniform external magnetic field for the case when neutrinos can couple to the electromagnetic field directly through their dipole magnetic moment and obtain the stellar energy loss. The process would be of special relevance in astrophysical situations where standard left-handed neutrinos are trapped and the right handed neutrinos produced through the spin flip interaction induced by neutrino magnetic moment alone can freely stream out.

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 کاملHigh Energy Neutrinos from Magnetars
Magnetars can accelerate cosmic rays to high energies through the unipolar effect, and are also copious soft photon emitters. We show that young, fast-rotating magnetars whose spin and magnetic moment point in opposite directions emit high energy neutrinos from their polar caps through photomeson interactions. We identify a neutrino cut-off band in the magnetar period-magnetic field strength ph...
متن کاملConstraints on neutrino - photon interactions from rare Z decays
It is shown that the rare decays Z → ν ¯ νγ and Z → ν ¯ νγγ are useful to put model-independent bounds on neutrino-one-photon and neutrino-two-photon interactions. The results are then used to constrain the τ neutrino magnetic moment µ ντ and the double radiative decay ν j → ν i γγ. It is found that the decay Z → ν ¯ νγ gives a more stringent bound on µ ντ than that obtained from Z → ν ¯ νγγ; t...
متن کاملPhoton-neutrino interactions in strong magnetic field
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 ...
متن کاملNeutrino Propagation in Magnetized Plasma
The process of neutrino propagation through an active medium consisting of magnetic field and plasma is analysed. We consider in detail the contribution of a magnetic field B into the neutrino self-energy operator Σ(p). The results for this contribution were contradictory in the previous literature. For the conditions of the early universe where the background medium consists of a charge-symmet...
