The resonant transition effects MSW and NSFP for three flavour Majorana neutrinos in a supernova are considered, where the transition magnetic moments are likely to play a relevant role in neutrino physics. In this scenario, the deformed thermal neutrino distributions are obtained for different choices of the electron-tau mixing angle. Detailed predictions for the future large neutrino detectors are also given in terms of the ratio between the spectra of recoil electrons for deformed and undeformed spectra.

We analyze the implications of neutrino masses for the magnitude of neutrino magnetic moments. By considering electroweak radiative corrections to the neutrino mass, we derive model-independent naturalness upper bounds on neutrino magnetic moments, $ mu_ u$, generated by physics above the electroweak scale. For Dirac neutrinos, the bound is several orders of magnitude more stringent than present experimental limits. However, for Majorana neutrinos the magnetic moment contribution to the mass is Yukawa suppressed. The bounds we derive for magnetic moments of Majorana neutrinos are weaker than present experimental limits if $mu_ u$ is generated by new physics at ~ 1 TeV, and surpass current experimental sensitivity only for new physics scales > 10 -- 100 TeV. The discovery of a neutrino magnetic moment near present limits would thus signify that neutrinos are Majorana particles.
The existence of a neutrino magnetic moment implies contributions to the neutrino mass via radiative corrections. We derive model-independent naturalness upper bounds on the magnetic moments of Dirac neutrinos, generated by physics above the electrow eak scale. The neutrino mass receives a contribution from higher order operators, which are renormalized by operators responsible for the neutrino magnetic moment. This contribution can be calculated in a model independent way. In the absence of fine-tuning, we find that current neutrino mass limits imply that $|mu_ u| < 10^{-14}$ Bohr magnetons. This bound is several orders of magnitude stronger than those obtained from solar and reactor neutrino data and astrophysical observations.
Since most of the neutrino parameters are well-measured, we illustrate precisely the prediction of the Standard Model, minimally extended to allow massive neutrinos, for the electron neutrino magnetic moment. We elaborate on the effects of light ster ile neutrinos on the effective electron neutrino magnetic moment measured at the reactors. We explicitly show that the kinematical effects of the neutrino masses are negligible even for light sterile neutrinos.

We study the evolution of massive mixed Dirac and Majorana neutrinos in matter under the influence of a transversal magnetic field. The analysis is based on relativistic quantum mechanics. We solve exactly the evolution equation for relativistic neut rinos, find the neutrino wave functions, and calculate the transition probability for spin-flavor oscillations. We analyze the dependence of the transition probability on the external fields and compare the cases of Dirac and Majorana neutrinos. The evolution of Majorana particles in vacuum is also studied and correction terms to the standard oscillation formula are derived and discussed. As a possible application of our results we discuss the spin-flavor transitions in supernovae.
We investigate effects of non-zero Dirac and Majorana CP violating phases on neutrino-antineutrino oscillations in a magnetic field of astrophysical environments. It is shown that in the presence of strong magnetic fields and dense matter, non-zero C P phases can induce new resonances in the oscillations channels $ u_e leftrightarrow bar{ u}_e$, $ u_e leftrightarrow bar{ u}_mu$ and $ u_e leftrightarrow bar{ u}_{tau}$. We also consider all other possible oscillation channels with $ u_mu$ and $ u_tau$ in the initial state. The resonances can potentially lead to significant phenomena in neutrino oscillations accessible for observation in experiments. In particular, we show that neutrino-antineutrino oscillations combined with Majorana-type CP violation can affect the $bar{ u}_e$/$ u_e$ ratio for neutrinos coming from the supernovae explosion. This effect is more prominent for the normal neutrino mass ordering. The detection of supernovae neutrino fluxes in the future experiments, such as JUNO, DUNE and Hyper-Kamiokande, can give an insight into the nature of CP violation and, consequently, provides a tool for distinguishing the Dirac or Majorana nature of neutrinos.
