Neutrino- Photon Interactions at Low Energy

High Energy Physics - Phenomenology 2007-05-23 v1

Abstract

We discuss νγ\nu - \gamma interactions in the presence of a homogeneous magnetic field with energies less than pair production threshold. The neutrinos are taken to be massless with only standard-model couplings. The magnetic field fulfills the dual purpose of inducing an effective neutrino-photon vertexes and of modifying the photon dispersion relation. Our conclusion is νγ\nu - \gamma interactions are too weak to be of importance for pulsar physics.
