The cross sections for the processes γνγγν, γγγνν̅ , and νν̅ →γγγ are calculated with the aid of an effective Lagrangian derived from the standard model. These cross sections are shown to be much larger than the elastic cross section σ(γνγν) for photon energies ω>1keV. Possible astrophysical implications are discussed.
