Neutrinos in core collapse supernovae are likely trapped by neutrino-nucleus elastic scattering. Using molecular dynamics simulations, we calculate neutrino mean free paths and ion-ion correlation functions for heterogeneous plasmas. Mean free paths are systematically shorter in plasmas containing a mixture of ions compared to a plasma composed of a single ion species. This is because neutrinos...
متن کاملDetection of supernova neutrinos by neutrino-proton elastic scattering
We propose that neutrino-proton elastic scattering, n1p→n1p , can be used for the detection of supernova neutrinos in scintillator detectors. Though the proton recoil kinetic energy spectrum is soft, with Tp .2En /M p , and the scintillation light output from slow, heavily ionizing protons is quenched, the yield above a realistic threshold is nearly as large as that from n̄e1p→e1n . In addition,...
متن کاملEffects of inelastic neutrino-nucleus scattering on supernova dynamics and radiated neutrino spectra.
Based on the shell model for Gamow-Teller and the random phase approximation for forbidden transitions, we calculate cross sections for inelastic neutrino-nucleus scattering (INNS) under supernova (SN) conditions, assuming a matter composition given by nuclear statistical equilibrium. The cross sections are incorporated into state-of-the-art stellar core-collapse simulations with detailed energ...
متن کاملSupernova Neutrino Detection in Borexino
We calculated the expected neutrino signal in Borexino from a typical Type II supernova at a distance of 10 kpc. A burst of around 110 events would appear in Borexino within a time interval of about 10 s. Most of these events would come from the reaction channel ν̄e + p → e+ + n, while about 30 events would be induced by the interaction of the supernova neutrino flux on 12C in the liquid scintil...
متن کاملSupernova Neutrino Directionality
In this research project, we try to find out how well we can point to core-collapse supernova by detecting supernova neutrino events in a water detector, and to investigate improvement of the pointing algorithm. A refined model is created of supernova neutrinos in which scattered electron events and 30 times more positron events are generated after a burst of supernova neutrinos has propagated ...
