It is shown that the probe-independent charge radius of the neutrino is a physical observable; as such, it may be extracted from experiment, at least in principle. This is accomplished by expressing a set of experimental neutrino-electron…
In Phys. Rev. Lett. 89, 101802 (2002); erratum, ibid. 89, 229902(E) (2002), Bernabeu, Papavassiliou, and Vidal claim that they can extract a gauge-independent neutrino charge radius (NCR) which is, therefore, a physical observable. We show…
It is shown that at one-loop order a neutrino charge radius (NCR) may be defined, which is ultraviolet finite, does not depend on the gauge-fixing parameter, nor on properties of the target other than its electric charge. This is…
We present a brief summary of recent results concerning the unambiguous definition and experimental extraction of the gauge-invariant and process-independent neutrino charge radius.
The ``Comment'' presented in hep-ph/0303188 is not even wrong: Fujikawa and Shrock miss entirely the crucial point that the observable quantity associated with the neutrino charge radius (NCR) is not given by the (off-shell) one-loop vertex…
We propose to extract the value of the effective neutrino charge radius from the coherent scattering of a neutrino against a heavy nucleus. In such an experiment the relevant quantity to measure is the kinetic energy distribution of the…
Using the pinch technique we construct at one-loop order a neutrino charge radius, which is finite, depends neither on the gauge-fixing parameter nor on the gauge-fixing scheme employed, and is process-independent. This definition stems…
Precise modeling of neutrino-nucleus scattering is becoming increasingly important as accelerator-based oscillation experiments seek definitive answers to open questions about neutrino properties. To guide the needed model refinements, a…
Nuclear charge radii constitute a physical observable of growing significance across multiple subdisciplines of physics and related fields. Their determination relies on a combination of complementary experimental techniques and advanced…
We study a combination of amplitudes for neutrino scattering that can isolate a (gauge-invariant) difference of chirality-preserving neutrino electroweak radii for $\nu_\mu$ and $\nu_\tau$. This involves both photon and $Z_\mu$ exchange…
Neutrino-nucleus cross-section measurements are critical for future neutrino oscillation analyses. However, our models to describe them require further refinement, and a deeper understanding of the underlying physics is essential for future…
Coherent elastic neutrino-nucleus scattering is a powerful probe of neutrino properties, in particular of the neutrino charge radii. We present the bounds on the neutrino charge radii obtained from the analysis of the data of the COHERENT…
Despite being neutral particles, neutrinos can have a non-zero charge radius, which represents the only non-null neutrino electromagnetic property in the standard model theory. Its value can be predicted with high accuracy and its effect is…
We present a full kinematic analysis of neutrino-nucleus charged current quasielastic interactions based on the Local Fermi Gas model and the Random PhaseApproximation. The model was implemented in the NEUT Monte Carlo framework, which…
The magnetic moment and vanishing charge of a Dirac neutrino are physically observable quantities and must not depend on the choice of gauge in a consistent quantum field theory. We verify this statement explicitly at the one loop level in…
We discuss methods to extract neutrino oscillation parameters based on the directly observable quantities, without reconstruction of neutrino energy. The distributions of muon energies and production angles are compared to Monte Carlo…
Future long-baseline neutrino experiments will measure neutrino oscillation properties with unprecedented precision and will search for clear signatures of CP violation in the leptonic sector. Near detectors can measure the…
The neutron is electrically neutral, but its substructure consists of charged quarks so it may have an internal charge distribution. In fact it is known to have a negative mean square charge radius (MSCR), the second moment of the radial…
We show how the crucial gauge cancellations leading to a physical definition of the neutrino charge radius persist in the presence of non-vanishing fermion masses. An explicit one-loop calculation demonstrates that, as happens in the…
We deduce the cosmogenic neutrino flux by jointly analysing ultra high energy cosmic ray data from HiRes-I and II, AGASA and the Pierre Auger Observatory. We make two determinations of the neutrino flux by using a model-dependent method and…
