Description

In the presence of transition magnetic moments between active and sterile neutrinos, the search for a Primakoff upscattering process at Coherent Elastic Neutrino Nucleus Scattering (CE$\nu$NS) experiments provide very stringent constraints on the neutrino magnetic moment. I will discuss how a radiative upscattering process with a photon emitted in the final state can provide a novel experimental mode to probe neutrino transition magnetic moments beyond existing limits and how the differential distributions for such a radiative mode can also be sensitive to the Dirac vs. Majorana nature of neutrinos.
