A Novel Kind of Neutrino Oscillation Experiment

A novel method to look for neutrino oscillations is proposed based on the elastic scattering process $\barν_{i} e^{-}\rightarrow \barν_{i} e^{-}$, taking advantage of the dynamical zero present in the differential cross section for $\barν_{e} e^{-}\rightarrow \barν_{e} e^{-}$. An effective tunable experiment between the "appearance" and "disappearance" limits is made possible. Prospects to exclude the allowed region for atmospheric neutrino oscillations are given.

Neutrino Magnetic Moment and the Process $νe \rightarrow νe γ$

The contribution of a neutrino magnetic moment $μ_ν$ to the cross section of the process $νe^{-}\rightarrow νe^{-} γ$ has been calculated and compared with the Standard Electroweak one. The radiative process allows to reach low enough values of $Q^2$ without the need to operate at very small energies of recoil electrons. Regions in the phase space which are more favourable to set bounds on $μ_ν$ are suggested.

Dynamical zeros in neutrino-electron elastic scattering at leading order

We show the existence of dynamical zeros in the helicity amplitudes for neutrino-electron elastic scattering at lowest order in the standard theory. In particular, the $λ=1/2$ non-flip electron helicity amplitude in the electron antineutrino process vanishes for an incident neutrino energy $E_ν=m_{e}/(4sin^{2}θ_{W})$ and forward electrons (maximum recoil energy). The rest of helicity amplitudes show kinematical zeros in this configuration and therefore the cross section vanishes. Prospects to search for neutrino magnetic moment are discussed.
