For photons that propagate through a gas of neutrinos with a non-zero chemical potential, the left-handed and right-handed polarization modes acquire different dispersion relations. This is due to the CP and CPT-odd terms induced by such a…
A weakly coupled and light dark photon coupling to lepton charges $L_\mu-L_\tau$ is an intriguing dark matter candidate whose coherent oscillations alter the dispersion relations of leptons. We study how this effect modifies the dynamics of…
In a medium that contains electrons but not the other charged leptons, such as normal matter, the gravitational interactions of neutrinos are not the same for all the neutrino flavors. We calculate the leading order matter-induced…
Neutrino-photon processes, forbidden in vacuum, can take place in the presence of a thermal medium and/or an external electro-magnetic field, mediated by the corresponding charged leptons (real or virtual). Such interactions affect the…
Some theories of new physics accounting for neutrino masses can give rise to a low-energy non-unitary leptonic mixing matrix. It is shown that the CP-asymmetries in the $\nu_\mu\to \nu_\tau$ channel are an excellent probe of such new…
General Neutrino Interactions (GNI) are scalar, pseudoscalar, vector, axial vector or tensor interactions of neutrinos with fermions, and generalise the often studied neutrino Non-Standard Interactions (NSI). If GNI arise from heavy new…
In this letter we propose a possible mechanism of left- and right-handed neutrino couplings to photons, which arises quite naturally in non-commutative gauge field theory. We estimate the predicted additional energy-loss in stars induced by…
The use of spin observables to study the semi-leptonic and non-leptonic weak interaction in atoms and nuclei is surveyed. In particular, the use of semi-leptonic neutral current scattering and atomic parity violation to search for physics…
We have investigated non-standard $\nu \bar \nu \gamma $ and $\nu \bar \nu \gamma \gamma$ couplings via $\nu \bar \nu$ production in a $\gamma p$ collision at the LHC. We obtain 95\% confidence level bounds on $\nu \bar \nu \gamma $ and…
Cross sections for the interactions of ultrahigh-energy neutrinos with nucleons are evaluated in light of new information about nucleon structure functions. For $10^{20}$--eV neutrinos, the cross section is about 2.4 times previous…
A general decomposition of the amplitudes for the $2\to 2$ processes $\gamma\nu\to\gamma\nu$ and $\gamma\gamma\to\nu\bar{\nu}$ is obtained using gauge invariance and Bose symmetry. The restrictions implied by this decomposition are…
It has been proposed that photon-exchange effects in atom-photon interactions could lead to greatly enhanced optical nonlinearities. These might have widespread application (e.g. quantum information). Here we demonstrate experimentally that…
Neutrino-photon processes, forbidden in vacuum, can take place in presence of a thermal medium or an external electro-magnetic field, mediated by the corresponding charged leptons (real or virtual). The effect of a medium or an…
The two-photon two-neutrino interaction induced by magnetic field is investigated. In particular the processes $\gamma \gamma \to \nu \bar \nu$ and $\gamma \to \gamma \nu \bar \nu$ are studied in the presence of strong magnetic field. An…
The interaction of light with a single two-level emitter is the most fundamental process in quantum optics, and is key to many quantum applications. As a distinctive feature, two photons are never detected simultaneously in the light…
We consider the interaction of one- and two-photon pulses in a waveguide with two two-level systems (TLS) that are also able to interact directly either through an exchange- or a dipole-type interaction. We focus on the system's transport…
Nonlinear phenomena of lepton-photon interactions in external backgrounds with a generalised periodic plane-wave geometry are studied. We discuss nonlinear Compton scattering in head-on lepton-photon collisions extended properly to beyond…
The most severe constraints on quark-lepton four-fermion contact interactions come from the agreement of atomic parity violation measurements with the Standard Model. In this letter I note that for contact interactions which arise in…
A general analysis of the three-vertex loop amplitude in a strong magnetic field, based on the asymptotic form of the electron propagator in the field, is performed. In order to investigate the photon-neutrino process gamma gamma -> nu bar…
We derive generic formulas for the polarization density matrix of leptons produced in neutrino and antineutrino collisions and briefly consider some important particular cases. Next we employ the general formalism in order to include the…
