Abstract

We study the electromagnetic contribution to elastic neutrino-nucleon scattering processes. The neutrino electromagnetic charge, magnetic, electric, and anapole form factors of both diagonal and transition types in the mass basis are taken into account in the present formalism. When treating the nucleon electromagnetic vertex, we take into account not only the charge and magnetic form factors of a nucleon, but also its electric and anapole form factors. We examine the effects of the neutrino magnetic moment on elastic neutrino-nucleon scattering and how they can be disentangled from those of the strange form factors contributions to the nucleon’s weak neutral current.
