Neutrino Conversion and Neutrino Astrophysics *
نویسنده
چکیده
We consider main ingredients which determine neutrino transformations in media. Strong transformations relevant for the astrophysics can be due to large depth oscillations, resonance conversion, parametric resonance effect, interplay of oscillations and inelastic collisions. Properties of transitions are discussed using the graphic representation. The applications of the transitions to supernova neu-trinos are described. The supernova neutrinos can probe whole neutrino mass spectrum. Their studies will help to identify the pattern of neutrino mass and mixing.

Physics potential of future supernova neutrino observations
We point out possible features of neutrino spectra from a future galactic core collapse supernova that will enhance our understanding of neutrino mixing as well as supernova astrophysics. We describe the neutrino flavor conversions inside the star, emphasizing the role of “collective effects” that has been appreciated and understood only very recently. These collective effects change the tradit...
متن کاملSearch for Stimulated Neutrino Conversion with an Rf Cavity
Little is known on radiative decays of νμ and ντ . Lifetimes can be constrained, or the process discovered, by a search for flavour conversion in a superconducting RF cavity installed in a neutrino beam. The lifetimes tested with such a method can be of interest for astrophysics and cosmology. In particular the conjecture which explains both the LSND and the SuperKamiokande signals by radiative...
متن کاملPhysics and Astrophysics Opportunities with Supernova Neutrinos
Neutrinos emitted from a supernova encode useful information about neutrino physics and astrophysics. Interpreting the neutrino signal depends crucially on understanding neutrino production, flavor mixing during propagation, and detection. In this talk, we review the physics potential of a SN neutrino observation.
متن کاملRecent Progress in Neutrino Astrophysics
Recent progress in neutrino physics has been rapid, to a large extent thanks to observations of neutrinos produced in astrophysical environments. Here, we review the current standing on such questions as neutrino masses and mixings, focusing mainly on the interplay between neutrino physics, astrophysics and cosmology.
