Neutrino self-energy in a magnetized charge-symmetric medium

Abstract

In this talk we present the calculation of the neutrino self-energy in presence of a magnetized medium. The magnetized medium consists of electrons, positrons, neutrinos and a uniform classical magnetic field. The background magnetic field is assumed to be weak compared to the $W$-Boson mass as a consequence of which only linear order corrections in the field are included in the $W$ boson propagator. The electron propagator consists all order corrections in the background field. Our calculation is specifically suited for situations where the background plasma may be CP symmetric.
