Elasic Neutrino-Nucleon Scattering: The Effects of Electromagnetic Properties and Polarization
摘要
The nonzero neutrino masses open a door for neutrino electromagnetic interactions. We develop a formalism for treating these interactions in elastic neutrino-nucleon scattering processes. We account for electromagnetic charge, magnetic, electric, and anapole form factors of massive neutrinos. Considering Dirac neutrinos, we assume the neutrino beam arriving at the target to have spin polarization due to effects of neutrino spin oscillations. We present the expressions for the differential cross sections of elastic neutrino-nucleon scattering.
