Magnetic Field Generation from Self-Consistent Collective Neutrino-Plasma Interactions

High Energy Physics - Phenomenology 2009-09-29 v1

Abstract

A new Lagrangian formalism for self-consistent collective neutrino-plasma interactions is presented in which each neutrino species is described as a classical ideal fluid. The neutrino-plasma fluid equations are derived from a covariant relativistic variational principle in which finite-temperature effects are retained. This new formalism is then used to investigate the generation of magnetic fields and the production of magnetic helicity as a result of collective neutrino-plasma interactions.
