Search for electromagnetic properties of the neutrino in $\gamma e$ and $\gamma\gamma$ collisions at CLIC

Abstract

We have examined nonstandard $\gamma\nu\bar\nu$ and $\gamma\gamma\nu\bar\nu$ couplings via $\nu\bar\nu$ production in a $e\gamma$ and $\gamma\gamma$ collisions at the CLIC. We obtain 95% confidence level bounds on $\gamma\nu\bar\nu$ and $\gamma\gamma\nu\bar\nu$ couplings by considering the backscattered photon distribution function for incoming photons and Initial State Radiation (ISR) and Beamstrahlung (BS) effect for initial state electrons in the $e\gamma$ and $\gamma\gamma$ collider modes of linear collider. We indicate that the reaction $\gamma\gamma\to\nu\bar\nu$ provides more than 15 orders of magnitude improvement in neutrino-two photon couplings compared to LEP limits.
