Photon-neutrino interaction in theta-exact covariant noncommutative model: Phenomenology and Quantum properties*

Abstract

We construct the theta-exact covariant noncommutative (NC) model and obtain various closed constraints on the NC scale (Lambda_NC) from inelastic neutrino-nucleon scatterings (nu N -> nu+X), from plasmon decay into neutrino pair (gamma_pl -> bar nu + nu), from the BBN nucleosynthesis and from the reheating phase after inflation, respectively. We have have found neutrino two-point function in a closed form. It shows decoupling of the UV divergent term from softened UV/IR mixing term and from the finite terms as well. We show that problematic UV divergent and UV/IR mixing terms vanish for a certain choice of the noncommutative parameter theta which preserves unitarity. We find non-perturbative modifications of the neutrino dispersion relations which are assymptotically independent of the scale of noncommutativity in both the low and high energy limits and may allow superluminal propagation.
