Abstract

The cross sections for the processes {gamma}{nu} {yields} {gamma}{gamma} {yields} {nu}{anti {nu}} are calculated with the aid of an effective Lagrangian derived from the Standard model. These cross sections are shown to be much larger than the elastic cross section {sigma}({gamma}{nu} {yields} {gamma}{nu}) for photon energies {omega} {ge} 1 keV. Possible astrophysical implications are discussed.

Photon-Neutrino Interactions

Journal Article Dicus, D A ; Repko, W W - Physical Review Letters

The cross sections for the processes {gamma}{nu}{r_arrow}{gamma}{gamma}{nu} , {gamma}{gamma}{r_arrow}{gamma}{nu}{ovr {nu}} , and {nu}{ovr {nu}}{r_arrow}{gamma}{gamma}{gamma} are calculated with the aid of an effective Lagrangian derived from the standard model. These cross sections are shown to be much larger than the elastic cross section {sigma}({gamma}{nu}{r_arrow}{gamma}{nu}) for photon energies {omega}{gt}1 keV .

High energy photon-neutrino interactions

Technical Report Abbasabadi, A ; Devoto, A ; I.N.F.N., Cagliari ; ...

A general decomposition of the amplitudes for the 2 {r_arrow} 2 processes {gamma}{nu} {r_arrow} {gamma}{nu} and {gamma}{gamma} {r_arrow} {nu}{bar {nu}} is obtained using gauge invariance and Bose symmetry. The restrictions implied by this decomposition are investigated for the reaction {gamma}{gamma} {r_arrow} {nu}{bar {nu}} by computing the one-loop helicity amplitudes in the standard model. In the center of mass, where {radical}s = 2{omega}, the cross section grows roughly as {omega}{sup 6} up to the threshold for W-boson production, {radical}s = 2m{sub W}. Astrophysical implications of very high energy photon-neutrino interactions are discussed.

Neutrino helicity flips via electroweak interactions

Journal Article Gaemers, K J. F. ; Gandhi, R ; Lattimer, J M - Phys. Rev. D; (United States)

Electroweak mechanisms via which neutrinos may flip helicity are examined in detail. Exact and approximate expressions for a variety of flip processes relevant in astrophysics and cosmology, mediated by /ital W/, /ital Z/, and /gamma/ exchange, including their interference, are derived for both Dirac and Majorana neutrinos (with emphasis on the former). It is shown that in general flip and nonflip cross sections differ by more than just a multiplicative factor of /ital m//sub /nu///sup 2//4E/sub /nu///sup 2/ contrary to what might be expected and that this additional dependence on helicities can be significant. It is also shown that withinmore »« less

Testing some properties of neutral current neutrino interactions in neutrino counting reaction

Journal Article Babu, P R - International Journal of Modern Physics A; (USA)

The authors consider the neutrino counting reaction e/sup +/e/sup -/ {yields} {nu}/sub i/{nu}-bar/sub j/{gamma}. They restrict, to V, A Lorentz structure of weak neutral interaction (WNI), allow many Z bosons to mediate WNI and {nu}/sub i/ to be different from {nu}/sub j/. They derive the expression for differential cross section by allowing the polarizations of e/sup +/ and e/sup -/ but summing over the polarizations of final photons. From the study of differential cross section with polarized and unpolarized beams three different coupling constant combinations can be determined. A definite relation between these observables and the observables in {nu}(-bar)/sub e/emore »« less
