چکیده
The derivation of the ponderomotive force due to neutrinos by Hardy and Melrose [Phys.Rev.D 54, 6491 (1996)] is based on a flawed analysis of the ponderomotive force concept. Their conclusions also contain an erroneous physical assumption related to the neutrino emission in supernovae. A correct analysis shows the importance of the ponderomotive force due to neutrinos in type II supernovae explosions.

Ponderomotive force of quasi-particles in a plasma
We derive the force exerted in the background plasma by an arbitrary distribution of non interacting quasi-particles, corresponding to either collective excitations of the plasma (plasmons, phonons) or dressed particles (photons, neutrinos). Our approach is based on the effective Hamiltonian describing the quasi-classical dynamics of the individual particles in the presence of a background medi...
متن کاملMacroscopic Forces driven by Resonant Neutrino Conversion
We show that neutrino oscillations in matter are always accompanied by collective forces on the medium. This effect may produce interesting consequences for the background and the neutrino oscillations themselves. The force is maximal in the case of resonant neutrino conversion in the adiabatic regime. We study here the forces driven by νe − νμ,τ and νe − νs MSW conversion and shortly discuss t...
متن کاملThe action of neutrino ponderomotive force on Supernova dynamics
Collective interactions of a beam of neutrinos/antineutrinos traversing a dense magnetized plasma of electrons/positrons, protons and neutrons are studied with particular reference to the case of a Supernova. We find that the ponderomotive force exerted by neutrinos gives, contrary to expectations, a negligible contribution to the revival of the shock for a successful Supernova explosion, altho...

The reactions e − p → ∆ 0 ν e and e + p → ∆ ++ ¯ ν e are considered as a possible source of information about the weak N∆ transition form factors. The low q 2 BNL data on ν µ production of ∆ are used to extract the axial vector N∆ coupling, taking into account the deuteron structure and the ∆ width. Finally, pion production induced by neutrinos in 16 O in the ∆ region, relevant to atmospheric ν...

In this work we study how the infrared sector of the interaction Hamiltonian can affect the construction of the S matrix operator of QED in (2+1) dimensions.
