We calculate the Dirac neutrino anapole moment (avl) in the context of the Standard Model (SM) making use of the Dirac form factor FD(q2) introduced recently by J. Bernabéu, L. G. Cabral‐Rosetti, J. Papavassiliou y J. Vidal by using the Pinch Technique (PT) formalism, working in two different gauge‐fixing schemes (Rξ guage and the electroweak BFM), at the one loop level. We show that the neutrino anapole form factor FA(q2) and Dirac form factor FD(q2) are related as follows: FA(q2) = 1q2FD(q2). Hence, the Dirac neutrino charge radius 〈rvl2 and the anapole moment satisfy the simple relation avl = 16〈rvl2. Therefore, we show that the anapole moment (as the charge radius) of the neutrino is a physical quantity, which only gets contribution from the proper neutrino electromagnetic vertex (in electroweak BFM), and that avl is of the order 10−34cm2.
