Abstract
Neutrino-electron scatterings (
ν−e
) are purely leptonic processes with robust Standard Model (SM) predictions. Their measurements can therefore provide constraints to physics beyond SM. Non-commutative (NC) field theories modify space-time commutation relations, and allow neutrino electromagnetic couplings at the tree level. Their contribution to neutrino-electron scattering cross-section was derived. Constraints were placed on the NC scale parameter
Λ
NC
from
ν−e
experiments with reactor and accelerator neutrinos. The most stringent limit of
Λ
NC
>3.3TeV
at 95% confidence level improves over the direct bounds from collider experiments.
