We consider the Born approximation scattering, by electrons, of neutrinos (and antineutrinos) of the muon and of the electron types; the general Lagrangian respecting lepton locality is used. Throughout, we study only differential cross sections as the experimental observables. Some tests previously

β¦ Synopsis
Assuming a general nonderivative point interaction, and Born approximation, the angular distributions for neutrino scatterings by electrons are written, using only simple considerations, allowing all leptons to have nonzero mass. Our distributions have been previously obtained for some special cases, from general considerations by Bell et al., or in the results of explicit calculations. Applications to (i) determination of the Lorentz structure of the neutral weak interaction, and (ii) tests of lepton locality are considered. For illustration, two explicit calculations are given; one of these could hold for heavy lepton production, and the other for scattering of very low energy cosmic neutrinos.
