The effect of a neutrino magnetic moment on nuclear excitation processes

Possible low-background applications of MICROMEGAS detector technology

“…These must be invoked if all recently observed neutrino anomalies are accepted at face value [17] and may play an important role as dark matter [18]. Separately, the cross-section for this process is critically dependent on neutrino magnetic moment: concordance with the Standard Model prediction would per se largely improve the present experimental sensitivity to m n [19]. Finally, this coherent mechanism plays a most important role in neutrino dynamics in supernovae and neutron stars [15], adding to the attraction of a laboratory measurement.…”

Producing a new fermion in coherent elastic neutrino-nucleus scattering: from neutrino mass to dark matter

“…This serves not only as a handle to probe SM and nuclear physics parameters, but also as a robust probe of new physics. In particular, light sterile neutrinos [5][6][7], non-standard interactions of both quarks and leptons [8][9][10][11][12][13][14][15][16] as well as neutrino magnetic moments [17,18] can be searched for.…”

COHERENT Neutrino Scattering

“…When performed with multiple targets, the measurement can investigate nonstandard neutrino interactions (NSI) that depend on the quark makeup of the nucleus [4] [5]. It is also a sensitive test of models with large neutrino magnetic moments [6] [5]. Models with large μ ν can also be simultaneously tested with neutrino-electron scattering by virtue of the extremely low threshold of the detectors, and the characteristic 1 E rec recoil spectrum.…”
