Abstract

An influence of the magnetized electron - positron plasma on the absorption and loss of the energy and momentum in a process of neutrino propagation is investigated. A total contribution of all crossed processes, ννee+\nu \to \nu e^- e^+, νeνe\nu e^- \to \nu e^-, νe+νe+\nu e^+ \to \nu e^+, νee+ν\nu e^- e^+ \to \nu, is found for the first time, which appears not to depend on the chemical potential of electron-positron gas. Relatively simple expressions for the probability and mean losses of the neutrino energy and momentum are obtained, which are suitable for a quantitative analysis.
