Stodolsky effect in the framework of generalised neutrino interactions

Year: 2026

Type: article

Abstract: A bstract We study the Stodolsky effect utilizing the most general form of neutrino interactions with electrons below the electroweak scale by considering all possible Lorentz invariant operators respecting SU(3) ⨂ U(1) symmetry. We perform our calculation for both Dirac and Majorana neutrinos and find that in the most general setting, only the non-standard neutrino interactions and the tensor interaction terms provide a non-zero contribution, apart from the Standard Model contribution. We investigate the implications for the possible detection of the cosmic neutrino background (C ν B) by analysing the energy shifts that are characteristic of the Stodolsky effect. We also discuss the implication of considerable asymmetry in the C ν B on the present scenario.
