We consider the impact of neutral-current (NC) non-standard neutrino interactions (NSI) on the determination of the neutrino mass ordering. We show that in presence of NSI there is an exact degeneracy which makes it impossible to determine the neutrino mass ordering and the octant of the solar mixing angle θ12 at oscillation experiments. The degeneracy holds at the probability level and for arb...

The system of neutrino-antineutrino (νν̄) plasma is considered taking into account their weak Fermi interaction. New fluid instabilities driven by strong neutrino flux in a plasma are found. The nonlinear stationary as well as nonstationary waves in the neutrino gas are discussed. It is shown that a bunch of neutrinos, drifting with a constant velocity across a homogeneous plasma, can also induc...

The status of the theoretical description of the neutrino-nuclear interaction for low and intermediate energies is reviewed and its results are compared with the existing data. Particular emphasis is on C, the ingredient of liquid scintillator, and on O, the main component of the water Čerenkov detectors. First, I show that the data on the exclusive process populating the ground state of N are ...

We calculate the total and di erential quasielastic cross sections for neutrino and antineutrino scattering on nucleons using up to date ts to the nucleon elastic electromagnetic form factors GpE , G n E , G p M , G n M , and weak and pseudoscalar form factors. We nd that using the updated non-zero value of GnE has a signi cant e ect on both the total and di erential neutrino and antineutrino q...

We review coherent scattering of neutrinos on nuclei by coupling the weak currents to vector and axial-vector meson states. The couplings are obtained from known reactions, like τ–lepton and vector meson decays. We compute and present the cross sections as functions of energy and momentum transfer for various kinematic regions, including those which are relevant to oscillation experiments. The ...

We review the existing proposals to detect relic neutrinos using coherent scattering of a neutrino wind on test mass. By considering transformation momentum between reference frames, we demonstrate that induced acceleration scales with square mass for unclustered neutrinos, contrary literature. In addition, show there is large contribution this effect from neutrino-electron scattering, which ca...
