Research at Hokkaido University has revealed that elusive particles called neutrinos can interact with photons, the fundamental particles of light and other electromagnetic radiation, in ways not previously detected. The findings from Kenzo Ishikawa, Professor Emeritus at Hokkaido University, with colleague Yutaka Tobita, lecturer at Hokkaido University of Science, were published in the journal Physics Open. “Our results are important for understanding the quantum mechanical interactions of some of the most fundamental particles of matter,” says Ishikawa. “They may also help reveal details of currently poorly understood phenomena in the sun and other stars.” Mystery of Neutrinos Neutrinos are one of the most mysterious fundamental particles of matter. They are extremely difficult to study because they barely interact at all with other particles. They are electrically neutral and have almost no mass. Yet they are highly abundant, with vast numbers constantly streaming from the sun and passing through the Earth, and indeed ourselves, with barely any effect. Learning more about neutrinos is important for testing and perhaps refining our current understanding of particle physics, known as The Standard Model.

Electroweak Hall Effect and Its Implications The interaction described by the researchers involves a theoretical phenomenon called the electroweak Hall effect. This is an interaction of electricity and magnetism under extreme conditions where two of the fundamental forces of nature—the electromagnetic and the weak forces—merge into the electro-weak force. It is a theoretical concept, expected to apply only in the very high energy conditions of the early universe or within collisions in particle accelerators. The research has derived a mathematical description of this unexpected neutrino-photon interaction, known as the Lagrangian. This describes everything known about the energy states of the system.
