Status and perspectives of neutrino magnetic moments

Abstract

Basic theoretical and experimental aspects of neutrino magnetic moments are reviewed, including the present best upper bounds from reactor experiments and astrophysics. An interesting effect of neutrino spin precession and oscillations induced by the background matter transversal current or polarization is also discussed.
