Abstract

We have recalculated the processes ee and e+e- » due to an assumed magnetic moment of the neutrino (correcting some errors in the previous calculations). Comparing the results with the Fermi and electroweak models we set a suggestive limit (gmeMZ)20, where m is the electron mass and 0=e2m. A very sensitive method to set a good upper limit would be to measure the angular distribution of ee near the forward direction. © 1982 The American Physical Society.
