Among the few ways that allow or could allow us to probe the early Universe from the observation of a flux of primordial particles, there is one possibility which has been little studied: the observation today of high energy neutrinos which…
Neutrinos are neutral in the Standard Model, but they have tiny charge radii generated by radiative corrections. In theories Beyond the Standard Model, neutrinos can also have magnetic and electric moments and small electric charges…

A neutrino produced in a particle decay maintains an unusual wave nature that reveals a diffraction phenomenon in a large spatial region. Diffraction gives a new component to a neutrino flux in this region and modifies determinations of…
