Neutrino Polarization as a Consequence of Gauge Invariance
نویسنده
چکیده
It is pointed out that there are gauge-dependent and gauge-independent spinors within the little-group framework for internal space-time symmetries of massless particles. It is shown that two of the SL(2, c) spinors are invariant under gauge transformations while the remaining two are not. The Dirac equation contains only the gauge-invariant spinors leading to polarized neutrinos. It is shown that the gauge-dependent SL(2, c) spinor is the origin of the gauge dependence of electromagnetic four-potentials.

Internal Space-time Symmetries of Massless Particles and Neutrino Polarization as a Consequence of Gauge Invariance
There are gauge-transformation operators applicable to massless spin-1/2 particles within the little-group framework of internal space-time symmetries of massive and massless particles. It is shown that two of the SL(2, c) spinors are invariant under gauge transformations while the remaining two are not. The Dirac equation contains only the gauge-invariant spinors leading to polarized neutrinos...
متن کاملConstraints on four-Fermi contact interactions from low-energy electroweak experiments
We investigate the constraints on four-Fermi contact interactions from low-energy lepton-quark and lepton-lepton scattering experiments — polarization asymmetries in electron (muon)-nucleon scattering experiments, cesium and thallium atom parity violation measurements, neutrino-nuclei and neutrino-electron scattering experiments. These constraints are then combined by assuming the lepton and qu...

متن کاملThe effective neutrino charge radius
It is shown that at one-loop order a neutrino charge radius (NCR) may be defined, which is ultraviolet finite, does not depend on the gauge-fixing parameter, nor on properties of the target other than its electric charge. This is accomplished through the systematic decomposition of physical amplitudes into effective self-energies, vertices, and boxes, which separately respect electroweak gauge ...

We demonstrate that the neutrino kinetic equation derived by the standard Bo-golyubov method is formally gauge non-invariant and give a recipe how to recast it to the gauge invariant form recovering the standard Lorentz form weak force term which apparently conserves the lepton current. The analogy with the QED plasma case is traced which in asymptotic regions implies substitution of electric c...
