Abstract

A brief up-to-date review of the long-range forces generated by two neutrino exchange is presented. The potential due to exchange of a massive neutrino–antineutrino pair between particles carrying weak charge might be larger than expected if the neutrinos have not only masses but also magnetic moments close to the present experimental bounds. It still remains too small to be observable.
