Marjorana neutrinos--their electromagnetic properties and neutral current weak interaction
Description
Two aspects of marjorana neutrinos--their elecromagnetic properties and their central current weak interactions--are studied. Marjorana neutrinos with two states of Lorenz frame, and a Dirac neutrino with four states of Lorenz frame are defined. The Dirac marjorana confusion Theorem--that using V state of negative helicity or COPT conjugate V+ as incoming states it is impossible to tell if these are two states of neutrino, or two of four states of Dirac neutrino--is examined. The eletromagnetic properties of Marjorana are considered; first, static properties. A general expression for the matrix element of the electromagnetic current of a Marjorana neutrino is derived. The non-relativistic limits of terms in the t-channel of the matrix element are listed. A digression on the parity problem indicates that a pair of identical marjorana neutrinos W, in a p-wave, have equal parity. The way that form factors, electric charge distribution, magnetic, electric dipole form factors disappear from dirac to marjorana is given in one-loop diagrams
