Abstract

We have studied the effect of a non-vanishing neutrino magnetic moment \ (μν\mu_{\nu}) on the νx\nu_{\rm x} ({x=e,μ,τe,\mu,\tau}) elastic scattering off electrons for the Super-Kamiokande detector. The bounds on the μν\mu_{\nu} we have obtained are comparable to that extracted from laboratory experiments. Furthemore, we outline the potential of the Borexino experiment which may be sensitive to neutrino magnetic moments \lsim1010μB\lsim 10^{-10}\mu_B. In our analysis we have considered both cases of Majorana and Dirac neutrinos.
