The effect of a neutrino magnetic moment on nuclear excitation processes
Description
It is shown that the MeV-range neutrinos with a magnetic moment of ≅ 10-11 Bohr magnetons would excite nuclei, like 12C, with cross sections comparable to those obtained in the Standard Model. This implies the possibility of improving the present experimental bounds on the magnetic moment of any flavour of neutrinos by one order of magnitude. Such a magnetic moment would also enhance the coherent neutrino-nuclear scattering in low-temperature detectors, enabling them to set comparable limits. (author)
