Spin light of neutrino in matter: a new type of electromagnetic radiation

A short review of the properties of the spin light of neutrino ($SLν$) in matter, supplied with some historical notes on the discussed subject, is given. It is shown that consideration of the $SLν$ in matter in hep-ph/0605114 is based on erroneous calculations which ignore the fact that the energy-momentum conservation law can not be violated for this process. An attempt to rename the $SLν$ in matter, undertaken in hep-ph/0606262, is groundless.

Reply to hep-ph/0605114

The claim of preprint hep-ph/0605114 that there is "no neutrino spin light because of photon dispersion in medium" is wrong.

Neutrino self-polarization effect in matter

The quasi-classical theory of the spin light of neutrino ($SLν$) in background matter, accounting for the neutrino polarization, is developed. The neutrino transitions $ν_{L}\to ν_{R}$ and $ν_{R}\to ν_{L}$ rates in matter are calculated. It is shown that the $SLν$ in matter leads to the neutrino conversion from active $ν_{L}$ to sterile $ν_{R}$ states (neutrino self-polarization effect in matter).
