Screening of Long-Range Leptonic Forces by Cosmic Background Neutrinos

High Energy Physics - Phenomenology 2010-11-30 v1

Abstract

The absence of dispersion effects of the SN~1987A neutrino pulse has been used to constrain novel long-range forces between neutrinos and galactic baryonic or non-baryonic matter. If these forces are mediated by vector bosons, screening effects by the cosmic neutrino background invalidate the SN~1987A limits and other related arguments.
