Abstract

A strong magnetic field influences essentially on the properties of particles. Firstly, it can induce new interactions between particles—for example, an interaction arising at the one-loop level between electrically neutral neutrinos and photons. Secondly, magnetic fields dramatically change particle kinematics, opening new channels that are forbidden in a vacuum by conservation laws. Among these processes, the radiative transition of a massless neutrino \(\nu \rightarrow \nu \gamma \), which is also called the neutrino Cherenkov process, has been of great interest for a long time. In this chapter, we analyse this process in external active media: in a magnetic field, and in magnetized plasma. We also consider other neutrino-photon processes, when neutrino interacts with two photons (Compton-like process) and with three photons, under an influence of a magnetic field.

Notes

  1. 1.

    The expression (7.49) can be easily generalized to take into account the lepton mixing.
