If cosmic background neutrinos interact very weakly with each other, through spin-spin interactions, then they may have experienced a phase transition, leading to a ferromagnetic ordering. The small magnetic field resulting from…
The computation of the polarized amplitudes and cross section of the processes $\gamma\nu\to\gamma\gamma \nu$, $\gamma\gamma \to \gamma\nu\bar\nu$ and $\nu\bar\nu \to \gamma\gamma\gamma$ is described. We used an effective lagrangian…
A new concept is proposed to solve the solar neutrino problem, that is based on a hypothesis about the existence of semi-weak interaction of electron neutrinos with nucleons mediated by massless pseudoscalar bosons. Owing to about 10…
We study the long-range force arising between two neutral---of electric charge---aggregates of matter due to a neutrino-pair exchange, in the limit of zero neutrino mass. The conceptual basis for the construction of the effective potential…
The excess of electron-like events measured by MiniBooNE challenges our understanding of neutrinos and their interactions. We review the status of this open problem and ongoing efforts to resolve it. After introducing the experiment and its…
If the neutrino is Majorana type and the electroweak phase transition is second or weak first order, neutrino-induced interactions together with sphaleron transitions have the potential to erase a previously generated baryon asymmetry of…
The effective interaction of a pseudoscalar particle with photon in plasma with the presence of a constant uniform magnetic field is investigated. It is shown that under some physical conditions the effective coupling between pseudoscalar…
The search for $\nu_\mu \to \nu_e$ oscillations by the MiniBooNE Collaboration at Fermilab has revealed a low-energy signal which could be due either to electrons produced by $\nu_e$ or photons produced by the interaction of the weak…
At energies above the threshold for $W$ production the process $\nu \gamma \to l W^+$ is competive with $\nu \nu$ scattering at the same center of mass energies. In a cosmological setting, absorption of ultra high energy neutrinos by the…
We calculate the Cherenkov process nu -> nu+photon in the presence of a homogeneous magnetic field. The neutrinos are taken to be massless with only standard-model couplings. The magnetic field fulfills the dual purpose of inducing an…
We study low energy galactic neutrinos in the Milky Way under two fundamentally different descriptions of gravity, showing that neutrinos provide a sensitive probe of gravity underlying nature. If gravity is a quantum interaction, its long…
We have investigated exclusive photoproduction of light vector mesons ($\omega$, $\rho$ and $\phi$) on the nucleon at low energies. In order to explore the questions concerning the so-called missing nucleon resonances, we first establish…
Large, non-standard neutrino self-interactions have been shown to resolve the $\sim 4\sigma$ tension in Hubble constant measurements and a milder tension in the amplitude of matter fluctuations. We demonstrate that interactions of the…
We show that neutrinos and electrons share the same theoretical structure, and satisfy parallel relations particularly of the Large Number kind. We then argue that the neutrino can be described as a ``cold'' electron in a sense that is…
In $\rm\Lambda$CDM cosmology, Dark Matter (DM) and neutrinos are assumed to be non-interacting. However, it is possible to have scenarios, where DM-neutrino interaction may be present, leading to scattering of DM with neutrinos and…
The cross sections for the processes \gamma \nu --> \gamma\gamma \nu, \gamma\gamma -->\gamma\nu\bar{\nu} and \nu\bar{\nu} -->\gamma\gamma\gamma are calculated with the aid of an effective Lagrangian derived from the Standard model. These…
Sterile neutrinos only interact with the Standard Model through the neutrino sector, and thus represent a simple dark matter (DM) candidate with many potential astrophysical and cosmological signatures. Recently, sterile neutrinos produced…
We describe the importance of having low-energy (10-100 MeV) neutrino beams produced through the decay of boosted radioactive ions (``beta-beams''). We focus on the interest for neutrino-nucleus interaction studies and their impact for…
We study magnon-magnon interactions and their effects in a spiral magnet induced by combination of an antiferromagnetic Heisenberg interaction and a Dzyaloshinsky-Moriya interaction. We show that the main effect of magnon-magnon…
The exchange of a pair of neutrinos with Standard Model weak interactions generates a long-range force between fermions. The associated potential is extremely feeble, $\propto G_F^2/r^5$ for massless neutrinos, whichrenders it far from…
