Constraints on anomalous scattering of neutrinos from crystals

A general sum rule in the Born approximation governing neutrino scattering from local potentials in a crystal is proposed which implies a rigorous inequality which can be used to place an upper bound on the force of a neutrino wind on a crystal. The force is shown to depend linearly on the number of...

Description
Summary:A general sum rule in the Born approximation governing neutrino scattering from local potentials in a crystal is proposed which implies a rigorous inequality which can be used to place an upper bound on the force of a neutrino wind on a crystal. The force is shown to depend linearly on the number of scattering centers, and no exotic coherent effects are predicted. The possible effect of the pressure exerted by the solar neutrino wind on experiments of Dicke-Braginski type is also considered. (R.R.)
