Description
A massive neutrino can couple with the external magnetic field through its mass. A massive neutrino has a very tiny magnetic moment and is extremely insignificant for astrophysics and cosmology. However, the finite temperature and density effects of the background increase the magnetic moment of neutrino to a desired value. We compare the background effect on the magnetic moment of neutrino through Dirac and Majorana type mass. Some of the applications of the magnetic moment are also discussed.
