摘要
We find that magnetic neutrino-electron scattering is unaffected by oscillations for vacuum mixing of Dirac neutrinos with only diagonal moments and for Majorana neutrinos with two flavors. For Mikheyev-Smirnov-Wolfenstein mixing, these cases are again obtained, though the effective moments can depend on the neutrino energy. Thus. e.g., the magnetic moments measured with <(nu)over bar>(e), from a reactor and nu(e) from the Sun could be different. With minimal assumptions, we find a new limit on mu(nu) using the 825-d Super-Kamiokande solar neutrino data: \mu(nu)\ less than or equal to 1.5 x 10(-10) mu(B) at 90% CL, comparable to the existing reactor limit.
