Neutrino-neutrino scattering and matter-enhanced neutrino flavor transformation in supernovae.
Neutrino Flavor Transformation in Supernovae Yong-Zhong Qian and George M. Fuller Institute for Nuclear Theory, HN-12 University of Washington, Seattle, WA 98195 ABSTRACT We examine matter-enhanced neutrino flavor transformation (ντ(μ) ⇀↽ νe) in the region above the neutrino sphere in Type II supernovae. Our treatment explicitly includes contributions to the neutrino-propagation Hamiltonian fro...
متن کاملCollective Neutrino Flavor Transformation In Supernovae
We examine coherent active-active channel neutrino flavor evolution in environments where neutrino-neutrino forward scattering can engender large-scale collective flavor transformation. We introduce the concept of neutrino flavor isospin which treats neutrinos and antineutrinos on an equal footing, and which facilitates the analysis of neutrino systems in terms of the spin precession analogy. W...
متن کاملSimultaneous Flavor Transformation of Neutrinos and Antineutrinos with Dominant Potentials from Neutrino-Neutrino Forward Scattering
In astrophysical environments with intense neutrino fluxes, neutrino-neutrino forward scattering contributes both diagonal and off-diagonal potentials to the flavor-basis Hamiltonian that governs neutrino flavor evolution. We examine a special case where adiabatic flavor evolution can produce an off-diagonal potential from neutrino-neutrino forward scattering that dominates over both the corres...
متن کاملMatter-enhanced three-flavor oscillations and the solar neutrino problem.
We present a systematic analysis of the three-flavor Mikheyev-SmirnovWolfenstein (MSW) oscillation solutions to the solar neutrino problem, in the hypothesis that the two independent neutrino square mass differences, δm and m, are well separated: δm ≪ m. At zeroth order in δm/m, the relevant variables for solar neutrinos are δm and two mixing angles, ω and φ. We introduce new graphical represen...
متن کاملTOPICAL REVIEW Neutrino flavour transformation in supernovae
Rapid progress has been made during recent years in the understanding of the flavour oscillations that occur as neutrinos traverse through supernova. The previous paradigm has given way and it is now clear that the neutrino signals we shall receive from future Galactic supernovae will allow us both to peer inside these extraordinary cosmic events and to probe some of the fundamental properties ...
