AbstraktAbstract

It is predicted within the Standard Model of elementary particles that asymmetric neutrino environments cause rotation of linear polarization of electromagnetic wave - the birefringence. We demonstrate that this effect is strongly enhanced if additionally the photon is propagating through refractive medium, which effectively increases the photon exposure to the neutrino medium. Our estimate for infrared laser beam in 1 m long optical fiber exposed to reactor anti-neutrino flux results in linear polarization rotation by the angle ∼ 4.6 × 10^−39 rad.
