We study the electromagnetic contribution to elastic neutrino-proton and neutrino-neutron scattering processes. The neutrino electromagnetic charge, magnetic, electric, and anapole form factors of both diagonal and transition types in the mass basis are taken into account in the present formalism. When treating the nucleon electromagnetic vertex, we take into account not only the charge and magnetic form factors of a nucleon, but also its electric and anapole form factors. We examine how the effects of the neutrino millicharge can be disentangled from those of the strange quark contributions to the nucleon’s weak neutral current form factors.
