Abstract
A recent spectroscopic survey has shown that the lithium abundances in low-mass red-clump stars are higher than theoretical prediction. Motivated by their finding, we implemented effects of additional energy losses induced by neutrino magnetic moments on stellar evolution models. It is found that the lithium abundances in red giants increase because the finite magnetic moments of neutrinos enhance the efficiency of deep mixing and 7Be is conveyed from the hydrogen burning shell to the convective envelope. The results motivate further studies on the effects of non-standard energy losses on the surface compositions of low-mass red giants and red-clump stars.
