    Electromagnetic properties of massive neutrinos in low-energy elastic neutrino-electron scattering

    Full text link
    A thorough account of electromagnetic interactions of massive neutrinos in the theoretical formulation of low-energy elastic neutrino-electron scattering is given. The formalism of neutrino charge, magnetic, electric, and anapole form factors defined as matrices in the mass basis is employed under the assumption of three-neutrino mixing. The flavor change of neutrinos traveling from the source to the detector is taken into account and the role of the source-detector distance is inspected. The effects of neutrino flavor-transition millicharges and charge radii in the scattering experiments are pointed out.Comment: 16 pages, revtex; misprints in Eqs.

    On the problem of relativistic particles motion in strong magnetic field and dense matter

    Full text link
    We consider a problem of electron motion in different media and magnetic field. It is shown that in case of nonmoving medium and constant homogenious magnetic field the electron energies are quantized. We also discuss the general problem of eigenvectors and eigenvalues of a given class of Hamiltonians. We examine obtained exact solutions for the particular case of the electron motion in a rotating neutron star with account for matter and magnetic field effects. We argue that all of these considerations can be usefull for astrophysical applications

    The microwave induced resistance response of a high mobility 2DEG from the quasi-classical limit to the quantum Hall regime

    Full text link
    Microwave induced resistance oscillations (MIROs) were studied experimentally over a very wide range of frequencies ranging from ~20 GHz up to ~4 THz, and from the quasi-classical regime to the quantum Hall effect regime. At low frequencies regular MIROs were observed, with a periodicity determined by the ratio of the microwave to cyclotron frequencies. For frequencies below 150 GHz the magnetic field dependence of MIROs waveform is well described by a simplified version of an existing theoretical model, where the damping is controlled by the width of the Landau levels. In the THz frequency range MIROs vanish and only pronounced resistance changes are observed at the cyclotron resonance. The evolution of MIROs with frequency are presented and discussed.Comment: 4 pages, presented at EP2DS, to be published in Physica

    Parametric Resonance of Neutrino Oscillations in Electromagnetic Wave

    Get PDF
    Within the Lorentz invariant formalizm for description of neutrino evolution in electromagnetic fields and matter we consider neutrino spin oscillations in the circular polarized electromagnetic wave, the amplitude of which is a modulated function of time. It is shown for the first time that the parametric resonance of neutrino oscillations can occur in such a system.Comment: The enlarged version of contribution to the Proceedings of the Third International Workshop on New Worlds in Astroparticle Physics (Faro, 2000
