Abstract

We review the theory and phenomenology of neutrino electromagnetic interactions, which give us powerful tools to probe the physics beyond the Standard Model. After a derivation of the general structure of the electromagnetic interactions of Dirac and Majorana neutrinos in the one-photon approximation, we discuss the effects of neutrino electromagnetic interactions in terrestrial experiments and in astrophysical environments. We present the experimental bounds on neutrino electromagnetic properties and we confront them with the predictions of theories beyond the Standard Model.
