ABSTRACT
A general expression for the neutrino self-energy operator in plasmas was obtained in the limit of ultrahigh energies. Quantitative estimations were performed for the boundaries of the region kinematically allowed for the â€œneutrino-spin-lightâ€ process. An analysis of the additional neutrino energy in plasmas revealed that, in the cases where neutrino spin light was kinematically allowed, the processes $$\bar v_e + e^ - \to W^ -$$ and $$\bar v_\ell + v_\ell \to Z$$ would be dominant.
