Neutrino Flavor Conversion in a Supernova Core
If ν µ or ν τ mix with ν e , neutrino oscillations and collisions in a supernova (SN) core allow these flavors effectively to participate in β equilibrium and thus to obtain a large chemical potential. If a sterile species mixes with ν e , these effects lead to an anomalous loss of energy and lepton number. We study flavor conversion in a SN core on the basis of a new kinetic equation which rig...
متن کاملSupernova Neutrinos: Flavor-dependent Fluxes and Spectra
Transporting νμ and ντ in a supernova (SN) core involves several processes that have been neglected in traditional simulations. Based on a Monte Carlo study we find that the flavor-dependent spectral differences are much smaller than is often stated in the literature. A full-scale SN simulation using a Boltzmann solver and including all relevant neutrino reactions confirms these results. The fl...
متن کاملNeutrino-induced lepton flavor violation in gauge-mediated supersymmetry breaking
Gauge-mediated supersymmetry breaking is known to greatly suppress flavor changing neutral current effects. However, we show that gauge mediation in the context of leptogenesis implies potentially large lepton flavor violating signals. If the heavy righthanded neutrinos that participate in leptogenesis are lighter than the messenger scale of gauge mediation, they will induce flavor off-diagonal...
متن کاملProspects for Detecting Supernova Neutrino Flavor Oscillations
The neutrinos from a Type II supernova provide perhaps our best opportunity to probe cosmologically interesting muon and/or tauon neutrino masses. This is because matter enhanced neutrino oscillations can lead to an anomalously hot νe spectrum, and thus to enhanced charged current cross sections in terrestrial detectors. Two recently proposed supernova neutrino observatories, OMNIS and LAND, wi...
متن کاملSupernova neutrino fluxes from the LSD neutrino signal from SN1987A
Detection of 5 events by the Liquid Scintillation Detector (LSD) on February, 23, 1987 was recently interpreted as a detection of the electron neutrino flux from the first stage of the two-stage Supernova collapse [1][2]. We show that, if neutrino mass hierarchy is normal, such interpretation excludes values of neutrino mixing angle θ13 larger than 3 · 10 , independently of the particular Super...
