We propose a novel mechanism to detect terrestrial cosmic neutrino background's (CNB) limit of electric charge by employing Mach-Zehnder interferometer with asymmetrical arm placement – one at the Earth’s surface and the other is placed underground. Assuming that relic neutrinos possess a small but nonzero charge, their coherent forward scattering with photons induces measurable phase shift in...
