Kick Asymmetry along a Strong Magnetic Field in the Process of Neutrino Scattering on Nucleons
نویسندگان
چکیده
The neutrino-nucleon scattering in a collapsing star envelope with a strong magnetic field is investigated. The transferred by neutrinos momentum asymmetry along the field direction is obtained. It is shown that the neutrino-nucleon scattering gives a contribution to the asymmetry comparable with direct URCA processes. Hence, the neutrino-nucleon scattering should be taken into account in estimations of a possible influence of neutrino reemission processes on a collapsing star envelope dynamics.

Neutrino Transport in Strongly Magnetized Proto-Neutron Stars and the Origin of Pulsar Kicks: I. The Effect of Parity Violation in Weak Interactions
In proto-neutron stars with strong magnetic fields, the neutrino-nucleon scattering/absorption cross sections depend asymmetrically on the direction of neutrino momentum with respect to the magnetic field axis, a manifestation of parity violation in weak interactions. We develop the moment formalism of neutrino transport in the presence of such asymmetric neutrino opacities. For a given neutrin...

متن کاملAsymmetric neutrino emission due to neutrino-nucleon scatterings in supernova magnetic fields
Abstract We derive the cross section of neutrino-nucleon scatterings in supernova magnetic fields, including weak-magnetism and recoil corrections. Since the weak interaction violates the parity, the scattering cross section asymmetrically depends on the directions of the neutrino momenta to the magnetic field; the origin of pulsar kicks may be explained by the mechanism. An asymmetric neutrino...

We calculate neutrino and anti-neutrino scattering off electrons and nucleons in supernovae using a detailed Monte Carlo transport code incorporating realistic equations of state. The goal is to determine whether particles in a neutron star core, partially spin-aligned by the local magnetic field, can give rise to asymmetric neutrino emission via the standard parity breaking weak force. We conc...

The interaction of neutrinos with nucleons in the envelope of a remnant of collapse with a strong magnetic field during the passage of the main neutrino flux is investigated. General expressions are derived for the reaction rates and for the energy-momentum transferred to the medium through the neutrino scattering by nucleons and in the direct URCA processes. Parameters of the medium in a stron...
