Description
We investigate neutrino spin precession in primordial magnetic fields, taking previously ignored neutrino refractive effects into account. A present-day intergalactic field strength B0 implies that the magnetic dipole moments of any two neutrino species are bounded by μ/sub ν/approx. <10-16μ/sub B/[(10-9 G)/B0] because of nucleosynthesis constraints on the number of neutrino flavors
