Elastic Scattering of Neutrinos off Polarized Electrons

Abstract

We calculate the cross sections for elastic nul + e -> nul + e and antinul + e -> antinul + e scattering (l=e, mu or tau) in the Born approximation and with exactly fixed polarization states of target and final-state electrons, discussing their sensitivity to the incident (anti)neutrino flavor. We suggest investigation of the flavor composition of a (anti)neutrino beam by a flux-independent analysis of the scattering of its constituents off polarized electrons.
