Abstract
We consider the azimuthal asymmetry of the recoil electrons in elastic nue( -) scattering of solar neutrinos, which can arise if neutrinos have electro magnetic moments and there is a large solar magnetic field. We show that us ing this effect it is not possible to distinguish between magnetic and elec tric dipole moments in the l-Dirac and 2-Majorana neutrino cases and that a veraging over neutrino energy is important and suppresses the azimuthal asy mmetry in the 2-Majorana neutrino case.
