Anomalous magnetic moment of charged leptons is inversely proportional to its mass, whereas, the induced dipole moment of neutral leptons is directly proportional to their mass. Neutral massive point particles exert nonzero magnetic moment as a higher order effect, which is smaller than the anomalous magnetic moment of a charged particle of their same flavor partner. All leptons acquire some extra mass due to their interaction with the medium and affect the magnetic moment accordingly. We compare the contribution to the magnetic moment of various leptons due to their temperature and chemical potential dependent masses. It is shown that the magnetic moment contributions are non-ignorable for lighter leptons and heavy neutrinos. These calculations are very important to study particle propagation in the early universe and in superdense stellar media.", "revisions": [ { "version": "v1", "updated": "2022-06-14T14:51:07.000Z" } ], "analyses": { "keywords": [ "dense media", "comparative study", "massive point particles exert", "particles exert nonzero magnetic moment", "point particles exert nonzero magnetic" ], "note": { "typesetting": "TeX", "pages": 14, "language": "en", "license": "arXiv", "status": "editable" } } }
