The recent puzzling results of the XENON1T collaboration at few keV electronic recoils could be due to the scattering of solar neutrinos endowed with finite Majorana transition magnetic moments (TMMs). Within such general formalism, we find that the observed excess in the XENON1T data agrees well with this interpretation. The required TMM strengths lie within the limits set by current experiments, such as Borexino, specially when one takes into account a possible tritium contamination.

We explore the potential of current and next generation of coherent elastic neutrino-nucleus scattering (CE$ u$NS) experiments in probing neutrino electromagnetic interactions. On the basis of a thorough statistical analysis, we determine the sensitivities on each component of the Majorana neutrino transition magnetic moment (TMM), $left vert Lambda_i right vert$, that follow from low-energy neutrino-nucleus experiments. We derive the sensitivity to neutrino TMM from the first CE$ u$NS measurement by the COHERENT experiment, at the Spallation Neutron Source. We also present results for the next phases of COHERENT using HPGe, LAr and NaI[Tl] detectors and for reactor neutrino experiments such as CONUS, CONNIE, MINER, TEXONO and RED100. The role of the CP violating phases in each case is also briefly discussed. We conclude that future CE$ u$NS experiments with low-threshold capabilities can improve current TMM limits obtained from Borexino data.
Here we give a brief review on the current bounds on the general Majorana transition neutrino magnetic moments (TNMM) which cover also the conventional neutrino magnetic moments (NMM). Leptonic CP phases play a key role in constraining TNMMs. While the Borexino experiment is the most sensitive to the TNMM magnitudes, one needs complementary information from reactor and accelerator experiments in order to probe the complex CP phases.
We propose to test the magnetic transition moments of Majorana neutrinos by comparing the fluxes of different flavours of neutrinos coming from active galactic nuclei (AGN). We show that, with reasonable assumptions about the magnetic field of the AGN, it is possible to obtain limits on $ u_{tau} u_{e}$ and $ u_{tau} u_{mu}$ transition moments which are three to five orders of magnitude better than the laboratory limits. We also point out that with certain parameter values the ratio $ u_{tau}/ u_{e,mu}$, when measured from different sources, is expected to vary from zero to values somewhat higher than one, providing an unambigious signal of a magnetic transition within the AGN which cannot be explained by neutrino oscillations.
Recent experiment proposed to observe induced radiative neutrino transitions are confronted to existing bounds on neutrino magnetic moments from earth-based experiments. These are found to exclude any observation by several orders of magnitude, unless the magnetic moments are assumed to be strongly momentum dependent. This possibility is discussed in some generality, and we find that nontrivial dependence of the neutrino form factor may indeed occur, leading to quite unexpected effects, although this is insufficient by orders of magnitude to justify the experiments.
We study the magnetic moments and transition magnetic moments of $P_c$ and $P_{cs}$ states in the molecular picture. We first revisit the magnetic moments of $P_c$ states as the $S$ wave molecular states without coupled channel effects. The coupled channel effects and the $D$ wave contributions are then investigated carefully. The coupled channel effects contribute to the change of $0.1sim 0.4$ nuclear magneton $mu_N$ for most cases while the $D$ wave only induces the variation of less than $0.03 ~mu_N$. In addition, we obtain the transition magnetic moments between different $P_c$ states and the related electromagnetic decay widths of $P_cto P_cgamma$. The magnetic moments of $P_{cs}$ are much different for the assumption of spin being 1/2 and 3/2. The study of electromagnetic properties will help us disclose further the structure of these unconventional states.
