Neutrino-photon reactions for energies above $m_e$

High Energy Physics - Phenomenology 2009-10-31 v1

Abstract

We show that neutrino-photon reactions above mem_e are dominated by the reaction νγνe+e\nu \gamma \to \nu e^+ e^-. We calculate its cross-section and see that it is larger by several orders of magnitude than the cross-sections of other neutrino-photon processes, for energies above mem_e. We also discuss potential astrophysical and cosmological consequences.
