Neutrino-electron scattering in a dense magnetized plasma
Abstract
We derive general expressions for the cross section of neutrino scattering on electrons in dense, hot stellar matter, in the presence of strong magnetic fields. Numerical calculations of the scattering cross sections at various densities, temperatures, and magnetic fields are performed. Strong, quantizing magnetic fields modify significantly the angular and energy dependence of the scattering cross section.
