Majorana Neutrino Magnetic Moment and Neutrino Decoupling in Big Bang
  Nucleosynthesis
  We examine the physics of the early universe when Majorana neutrinos
(electron neutrino, muon neutrino, tau neutrino) possess transition magnetic
moments. These extra couplings beyond the usual weak interaction couplings
alter the way neutrinos decouple from the plasma of electrons/positrons and
photons. We calculate how transition magnetic moment couplings modify neutrino
decoupling temperatures, and then use a full weak, strong, and electromagnetic
reaction network to compute corresponding changes in Big Bang Nucleosynthesis
abundance yields. We find that light element abundances and other cosmological
parameters are sensitive to magnetic couplings on the order of 10^{-10} Bohr
magnetons. Given the recent analysis of sub-MeV Borexino data which constrains
Majorana moments to the order of 10^{-11} Bohr magnetons or less, we find that
changes in cosmological parameters from magnetic contributions to neutrino
decoupling temperatures are below the level of upcoming precision observations.
