Abstract

The energy spectrum of photons emitted in neutrino (antineutrino) scattering on electrons at Ev ≫ mv is calculated with the assumption that the neutral electron flow has an arbitrary (V, A) structure. The result obtained is generalized to the case of possible neutrino oscillations,\(v_e \begin{array}{*{20}c} { - \to } \\ { \leftarrow - } \\ \end{array} v_\mu , \overline v _e \begin{array}{*{20}c} { - \to } \\ { \leftarrow - } \\ \end{array} \overline v _\mu \), at an arbitrary neutrino mixing angle. Using the Weinberg-Salam model (sin2θW = 0.23) estimates of the sections dσγ/dω and σγ are obtained with consideration of the reactor antineutrino flux\(\bar v_e \). The contributions from charged and neutral lepton fluxes and their interference to dσγ/dω are compared.
