1202.4809 (Juan Carlos D'Olivo et al.)

Transition Radiation from the Neutrino-Photon Interaction in Matter    [PDF]

Juan Carlos D'Olivo, José Antonio Loza
We show that, because of their effective electromagnetic interaction in matter, transition radiation is emitted whenever neutrinos goes across the boundary between two media with different indices of refraction. This effect occurs in the context of the standard model and does not depend on any exotic neutrino property. We examine such a phenomena and compare it with the transition radiation of a neutrino endowed with an intrinsic dipole moment.
