Why neutrino may have magnetic moment

[Neitrino]

Why neutrino may have magnetic moment?
Even if it is massive... it is not composite and it is electrical neutral...

Hi there,

I find your question interesting. This far from my field of expertise so I can't really say anything about this. But I went to look on the web and found this presentation (for which I don't know the validity of it):

I'm not going to argue one way or the other because
I really don't know much about it but
the neutrino has to have spin doesn't it and
neutrons are neutral too yet they have magnetic moments.

Hi there,

neutrons are neutral too yet they have magnetic moments.

but neutrons are not leptons. They are composed of different quarks that can have magnetic moments, even though the total electric charge sums to zero.

Cheers
