Effects of density fluctuations on Supernova Neutrinos: 2ν Case
نویسنده
چکیده
We have studied the effects of density fluctuations on supernova neutrinos for a 2ν system from a future galactic supernova. A wide range of density fluctuation levels have been considered and it has been shown that for the most recent neutrino parameter space constraints, density fluctuations would affect the neutrino survival prbability and the expected neutrino flux. Possible implications of the changes in the flux due to density fluctuations are discussed.

Global Anisotropy vs Small-Scale Fluctuations in Neutrino Flux in Core Collapse Supernova Explosions
Effects of small-scale fluctuations in the neutrino radiation on core collapse supernova explosions are examined. Through a parameter study with a fixed radiation field of neutrinos, we find substantial differences between the results of globally anisotropic neutrino radiation and those with fluctuations. As the number of modes of fluctuations increases, the shock positions, entropy distributio...

In these Canberra summer school lectures we treat a number of topical issues in neutrino astrophysics: the solar neutrino problem, including the physics of the standard solar model, helioseismology, and the possibility that the solution involves new particle physics; atmospheric neutrinos; Dirac and Majorana neutrino masses and their consequences for low-energy weak interactions; red giant evol...

For the case of small matter effects: V ≪ ∆m 2 /2E, where V is the matter potential, we develop the perturbation theory using ǫ ≡ 2V E/∆m 2 as the expansion parameter. We derive simple and physically transparent formulas for the oscillation probabilities in the lowest order in ǫ which are valid for an arbitrary density profile. They can be applied for the solar and supernova neutrinos propagati...
