Self-refraction of supernova neutrinos: mixed spectra and three-flavor instabilities.
Neutrinos in a core-collapse supernova undergo coherent flavor transformations in their own background. We explore this phenomenon during the cooling stage of the explosion. Our three-flavor calculations reveal qualitatively new effects compared to a two-flavor analysis. These effects are especially clearly seen for the inverted mass hierarchy: we find a different pattern of spectral "swaps" in...
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 کاملPhysics of supernova neutrinos: flavor conversion effects
I review the effects of flavor conversion of neutrinos from stellar collapse due to masses and mixing, and discuss the motivations for their study. I consider in detail the sensitivity of certain observables (characteristics of the energy spectra of νe and ν̄e events) to the 13-mixing (sin 2 θ13) and to the type of mass hierarchy/ordering (sign[∆m213]). These observables are: the ratio of averag...
متن کاملEmission angle distribution and flavor transformation of supernova neutrinos
Using moment equations we analyze collective flavor transformation of supernova neutrinos. We study the convergence of moment equations and find that numerical results using a few moment converge quite fast. We study effects of emission angle distribution of neutrinos on neutrino sphere. We study scaling law of the amplitude of neutrino self-interaction Hamiltonian and find that it depends on m...
