Derivations of Atomic Ionization Effects Induced by Neutrino Magnetic Moments
Henry T. Wong, Hau-Bin Li, and Shin-Ted Lin
TL;DR
This paper critically examines previous derivations of atomic ionization caused by neutrino magnetic moments, confirming issues with earlier assumptions and highlighting contradictions in sum-rule approaches.
Contribution
It clarifies and refines the theoretical understanding of atomic ionization effects induced by neutrino magnetic moments, addressing inaccuracies in prior derivations.
Findings
Previous sum-rule results are inconsistent with atomic transition expectations
The paper emphasizes the need for careful assumptions in theoretical derivations
It confirms that earlier derivations involved unjustified assumptions
Abstract
A recent paper [M.B. Voloshin, Phys. Rev. Lett. 105, 201801 (2010)] pointed out that our earlier derivations of atomic ionization cross-section due to neutrino magnetic moments (arXiv:1001.2074v2) involved unjustified assumptions. We confirm and elaborate on this comment with these notes. We caution that the results of the sum-rule approach in this paper contradict the expected behaviour in atomic transitions.
