A QFT-induced phase in neutrino flavour oscillations

Abstract

In the extended Standard Model of particle physics, each neutrino mass eigenstate is predicted to have a tiny but non vanishing magnetic moment induced by quantum field theoretic corrections. These QFT-induced magnetic momenta depend linearly on masses of the underlying mass eigenstates with a proportionality constant $3e{G}_F/(8\sqrt{2}{\pi }^2)$. As a consequence when neutrinos are embedded in an environment containing magnetic fields the flavour oscillations get a contribution from the induced relative phases.
