Abstract
In this article, we study the effect of quantum gravitational corrections on neutrino electron scattering in electroweak theory SU(2) L × U(1) Y . We consider a neutrino that scatters off an electron by an exchange of a massive neutral gauge boson. In the minimal length formalism, starting from the equation of motion for a massive gauge field we obtain the propagator. And currents are obtained from the action for a massless Dirac fermion. Scattering amplitudes and differential cross sections as function of inelasticity variable y are obtained using expressions of the propagator and leptonic current. All usual expressions are recovered when the deformation parameter α tends to zero. We find that quantum gravitational effects become important only for a highly energetic process with a momentum transfer being much greater than the neutral gauge boson mass.
