abstract

We have searched for exotic neutrino-electron interactions that could be produced by a neutrino millicharge, by a neutrino magnetic moment, or by dark photons using solar neutrinos in the XMASS-I liquid xenon detector. We observed no significant signals in 711 days of data. We obtain an upper limit for neutrino millicharge of 5.4$\times$10$^{-12} e$ at 90\% confidence level assuming all three species of neutrino have common millicharge. We also set flavor dependent limits assuming the respective neutrino flavor is the only one carrying a millicharge, $7.3 \times 10^{-12} e$ for $\nu_e$, $1.1 \times 10^{-11} e$ for $\nu_{\mu}$, and $1.1 \times 10^{-11} e$ for $\nu_{\tau}$. These limits are the most stringent yet obtained from direct measurements. We also obtain an upper limit for the neutrino magnetic moment of 1.8$\times$10$^{-10}$ Bohr magnetons. In addition, we obtain upper limits for the coupling constant of dark photons in the $U(1)_{B-L}$ model of 1.3$\times$10$^{-6}$ if the dark photon mass is 1$\times 10^{-3}$ MeV$/c^{2}$, and 8.8$\times$10$^{-5}$ if it is 10 MeV$/c^{2}$.

  1. How Charged Can Neutrinos Be?

    hep-ph 2025-04 conditional novelty 5.0 of 10

    Mini-charged neutrinos are viable only for flavor-universal U(1)_X extensions such as U(1)_{B-L} and U(1)_L, and their experimental constraints are model-dependent, with upper bounds ranging from 10^-19 e to 10^-21 e.

  2. Reactor antineutrinos CE$\nu$NS on germanium: CONUS+ and TEXONO as a new gateway to SM and BSM physics

    hep-ph 2025-01 conditional novelty 5.0 of 10

    CONUS+ and TEXONO reactor CEνNS data are consistent with the Standard Model and yield the most stringent limit on the electron neutrino millicharge through neutrino-electron scattering.

  3. When backgrounds become signals: neutrino interactions in xenon-based dark matter detectors

    hep-ph 2025-09 conditional novelty 4.0 of 10

    Solar neutrino data from three xenon dark matter experiments provide updated standard-model tests and competitive limits on neutrino electromagnetic properties.
