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 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 کاملNeutrino signature of supernova hydrodynamical instabilities in three dimensions.
The first full-scale three-dimensional core-collapse supernova (SN) simulations with sophisticated neutrino transport show pronounced effects of the standing accretion shock instability (SASI) for two high-mass progenitors (20 and 27 M([Symbol: see text])). In a low-mass progenitor (11.2 M([Symbol: see text])), large-scale convection is the dominant nonradial hydrodynamic instability in the pos...
متن کاملCoherent development of neutrino flavor in the supernova environment.
We calculate coherent neutrino and antineutrino flavor transformation in the supernova environment, for the first time including self-consistent coupling of intersecting neutrino and antineutrino trajectories. For neutrino mass-squared difference /deltam2/ = 3 x 10(-3) eV2 we find that in the normal (inverted) mass hierarchy the more tangentially-propagating (radially-propagating) neutrinos and...
متن کاملInstability in the dense supernova neutrino gas with flavor-dependent angular distributions.
The usual description of self-induced flavor conversions for neutrinos (ν's) in supernovae is based on the simplified assumption that all the ν's of the different species are emitted "half-isotropically" by a common neutrinosphere, in analogy to a blackbody emission. However, realistic supernova simulations show that ν angular distributions at decoupling are far from being half-isotropic and, a...
