Clark and Pedigo (1973) suggested that if the neutrino has a magnetic moment, the energy loss of a solar neutrino due to magnetic elastic scattering off electrons while escaping from the sun could help to explain the nondetection of solar neutrinos at earth. Collective effects of the solar plasma will modify the energy loss calculated by those authors. The possibility of Cerenkov radiation from longitudinal plasmons suggests that the effects might be large and positive. Detailed calculation shows that such radiation actually has a minor effect on the energy loss and is not likely to affect the solar-neutrino problem.
