Supernovae and Neutrinos
A long-standing problem in supernova physics is how to measure the total energy and temperature of νμ, ντ , ν̄μ, and ν̄τ . While of the highest importance, this is very difficult because these flavors only have neutral-current detector interactions. We propose that neutrino-proton elastic scattering, ν + p → ν + p, can be used for the detection of supernova neutrinos in scintillator detectors. It...
متن کاملNeutrinos in Extra Dimensions and Supernovae
Models with extra space dimensions naturally provide for the existence of fermions that propagate in them. These are seen in 4D as an infinite tower of sterile neutrinos possibly mixed with the Standard Model ones. We consider the effect of such a mixing in the context of core collapse supernova physics. We show that the potentially dramatic modifications to the supernova evolution (commonly be...
متن کاملResonant conversion of massless neutrinos in supernovae.
It has been noted for a long time that, in some circumstances, massless neutrinos may be mixed in the leptonic charged current. Conventional neutrino oscillation searches in vacuum are insensitive to this mixing. We discuss the effects of resonant massless-neutrino conversions in the dense medium of a supernova. In particular, we show how the detected ν̄e energy spectra from SN1987a and the supe...
متن کاملNeutrinos from Early-phase, Pulsar-driven Supernovae
Neutron stars, just after their formation, are surrounded by expanding, dense, and very hot envelopes which radiate thermal photons. Protons can be accelerated in the wind zones of such energetic pulsars to very high energies. These protons lose energy efficiently in collisions with thermal photons and with the matter of the envelope, mainly via pion production. When the temperature of radiatio...
متن کاملSupernovae, Neutrinos and the Chirality of Amino Acids
A mechanism for creating an enantioenrichment in the amino acids, the building blocks of the proteins, that involves global selection of one handedness by interactions between the amino acids and neutrinos from core-collapse supernovae is defined. The chiral selection involves the dependence of the interaction cross sections on the orientations of the spins of the neutrinos and the (14)N nuclei...
