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 2$\nu$-mediated force has a range of microns, well beyond the atomic scale. The effective potential is built from the t-channel absorptive part of the scattering amplitude and depends on neutrino properties on-shell. We demonstrate that…
In various extensions of the Standard Model of particle physics, and intriguingly even in the three-generation Standard Model without neutrino masses, neutrinos are allowed to have very tiny electric charges. After a review of the…
The exchange of two massless neutrinos gives rise to a long range force which couples to weakly charged matter. As has been noted previously in the literature, the potential for this force is $\VN \propto G_{F}^2 / r^5$ with…
A brief up-to-date review of the long range forces generated by two neutrino exchange is presented. The potential due to exchange of a massive neutrino-antineutrino pair between particles carrying weak charge might be larger than expected…
We consider a fifth force to be an interaction that couples to matter with a strength that grows with the number of atoms. In addition to competing with the strength of gravity a fifth force can give rise to violations of the equivalence…
The mass of an electroweakly interacting neutrino consists of the electric and weak parts responsible for the existence of its charge, charge radius, and magnetic moment. Such connections explain the formation of paraneutrinos, for example,…
The absolute mass of neutrinos and their nature are presently unknown. Aggregate matter has a coherent weak charge leading to a repulsive interaction mediated by a neutrino pair. Near its range at micron distances the virtual neutrinos are…
In this paper we examine the connection among the themes: the cosmological constant, the weak interaction and the neutrino mass. Our main propose is to review and modify the ideas first proposed by Hayakawa [ Prog. Theor.…
In the low energy effective theory of the weak interaction, a macroscopic force arises when pairs of neutrinos are exchanged. We calculate the neutrino Casimir force between plates, allowing for two different mass eigenstates within the…
In the context of quantum field theory (QFT), we compute the amplitudes of weak interaction processes such as $ W^{+} \rightarrow e^{+} + \nu_{e}$ and $ W^{+} \rightarrow e^{+} + \nu_{\mu}$ by using different representations of flavor…
We propose a theory for neutrino oscillations, in which the flavour neutrinos are treated as waves of massless particles propagating in a "refractive quantum vacuum" and obeying a relativistically covariant equation of motion. The…
Neutrinos -- amongst the lightest known particles -- can mediate a force driving dark matter self-interaction and the small scale structure of the universe. We explore such a possibility in the simplest neutrino portal dark sector model…
The united rest mass and charge of a particle correspond to the two forms of the same regularity of the unified nature of its ultimate structure. Each of them contains the electric, weak, strong and the gravitational contributions. As a…
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 study the charged and neutral current weak interaction rates relevant for the determination of neutrino opacities in dense matter found in supernovae and neutron stars. We establish an efficient formalism for calculating differential…
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…
In order to include massive neutrino theoretically, a new concept of the weak charges of the particles, fundamental fermions, intermediate bosons and hadrons, is introduced. A new conservation law of the weak charge is first reported.…
This essay is intended to provide a brief description of the peculiar properties of neutrinos within and beyond the standard theory of weak interactions. The focus is on the flavor oscillations of massive neutrinos, from which one has…
The super-weak force is a minimal, anomaly-free U(1) extension of the standard model (SM), designed to explain the origin of (i) neutrino masses and mixing matrix elements, (ii) dark matter, (iii) cosmic inflation, (iv) stabilization of the…
