Tensor and scalar interactions of neutrinos may lead to observable neutrino magnetic moments

Abstract: Recently more generalized four-fermion interactions of neutrinos such as tensor and scalar interactions (TSIs) have been extensively studied in response to forthcoming precision measurements of neutrino interactions. In this letter, we show that due to the chirality-flipping nature, at the 1-loop level TSIs typically generate much larger (10 7 ∼ 10 10 ) neutrino magnetic moments (νMMs) than the vector case. For some cases, the large νMMs generated by TSIs may reach or exceed the known bounds, which implies pot… Show more

“…However, off-diagonal vector and tensor interactions are possible for Majorana neutrinos. This is in analogy to the well-known fact that Majorana neutrinos cannot have flavor diagonal magnetic moments (which couple photons to neutrinos via σ μν ) but can have flavor transition magnetic moments; see, e.g., [48]. In Table V,…”

“…potentially large contributions to NMMs. Especially if the new interactions has a chiralityflipping feature, then NMMs could be enhanced by about 10 orders of magnitudes [313], reaching the current/future observable ranges. Therefore, observations of large NMMs could real the underlying new physics of neutrinos.…”
