Classical neutral point particle in linearly polarized EM plane wave field
arXiv:1904.10587 · doi:10.1088/1361-6587/ab242e
Abstract
We study a covariant classical model of neutral point particles with magnetic moment interacting with external electromagnetic fields. Classical dynamical equations which reproduce a correct behavior in the non-relativistic limit are introduced. We also discuss the non-uniqueness of the covariant torque equation. The focus of this work is on Dirac neutrino beam control. We present a full analytical solution of the dynamical equations for a neutral point particle motion in the presence of an external linearly polarized EM plane wave (laser) fields. Neutrino beam control using extremely intense laser fields could possibly demonstrate Dirac nature of the neutrino. However, for linearly polarized ideal laser waves we show cancellation of all leading beam control effects.
