Title: Dirac- and Majorana-neutrino-mass effects in neutrino-electron elastic scattering

Journal Article · · Phys. Rev. D; (United States)

A covariant formulation is given for the mass-dependent differential cross sections for neutrino (antineutrino)-electron elastic scattering with either Dirac or Majorana neutrinos. It is explained how these cross sections along with a formulation for neutrino oscillations may be used to describe the helicity-transformation effect for neutrinos passing through matter.
