On neutrino-atom scattering in searches for neutrino magnetic moments
arXiv:1102.0643 · doi:10.1016/j.nuclphysbps.2012.09.133
Abstract
In the experimental searches for neutrino magnetic moments using germanium detectors one studies the ionization channel in the neutrino-atom scattering. We find that the so-called stepping approximation to the neutrino-impact ionization is exact in the semiclassical limit, and that the deviations from this approximation are very small.
