Tuesday, 5 May 2015 from 12:00 to 13:00 (Europe/Madrid)
at IFIC ( Seminar Room 1.1.1 )

ABSTRACT

We study the instability of magnetic fields in a neutron star core
driven by the parity violating part of the electron-nucleon interaction
in the Standard Model. We suggest a possible explanation of the origin
of the strongest magnetic fields observed in astrophysics.
