Review of neutrino electromagnetic properties and experimental bounds, indicating possible new physics.
Neutrinos are neutral in the Standard Model, but they have tiny charge radii generated by radiative corrections. In theories beyond the Standard Model, neutrinos can also have magnetic and electric moments and small electric charges (millicharges). We review the general theory of neutrino electromagnetic form factors, which reduce, for ultrarelativistic neutrinos and small momentum transfers, to the neutrino charges, effective charge radii, and effective magnetic moments. We discuss the phenomenology of these electromagnetic neutrino properties and review the existing experimental bounds. We also briefly review the electromagnetic processes of astrophysical neutrinos and the neutrino magnetic moment portal in the presence of sterile neutrinos.
