Supernova neutrino oscillations: A simple analytical approach
Analyses of observable supernova neutrino oscillation effects require the calculation of the electron (anti)neutrino survival probability Pee along a given supernova matter density profile. We propose a simple analytical prescription for Pee, based on a double-exponential form for the crossing probability and on the concept of maximum violation of adiabaticity. In the case of two-flavor transit...
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 oscillations: what do we understand?
We summarize our current understanding of the neutrino flavor conversions inside a core collapse supernova, clarifying the important role played by the “collective effects” in determining flavor conversion probabilities. The potentially observable νe and ν̄e spectra may help us identify the neutrino mixing scenario, distinguish between primary flux models, and learn more about the supernova expl...
متن کاملNeutrino oscillations and the supernova 1987A signal.
We study the impact of neutrino oscillations on the interpretation of the supernova (SN) 1987A neutrino signal by means of a maximum-likelihood analysis. We focus on oscillations between νe with νμ or ντ with those mixing parameters that would solve the solar neutrino problem. For the small-angle MSW solution (∆m2 ≈ 10−5 eV2, sin 2Θ0 ≈ 0.006), there are no significant oscillation effects on the...
متن کاملSupernova neutrino nucleosynthesis of light elements with neutrino oscillations.
Light element synthesis in supernovae through neutrino-nucleus interactions, i.e., the v process, is affected by neutrino oscillations in the supernova environment. There is a resonance of 13-mixing in the O/C layer, which increases the rates of charged-current -process reactions in the outer He-rich layer. The yields of 7Li and 11B increase by about a factor of 1.9 and 1.3, respectively, for a...
