Neutrino Capture Induced Supernova Explosions
نویسندگان
چکیده
Motivated by the success of kinetic theory in the description of observables in intermediate and high energy heavy ion collisions, we use kinetic theory to model the dynamics of core collapse supernovae. The specific way that we employ kinetic theory to solve the relevant transport equations allows us to explicitly model the propagation of neutrinos and a full ensemble of nuclei and treat neutrino-matter interactions in a very general way. With these abilities, our simulations have observed dynamics that may prove to be an entirely new neutrino capture induced supernova explosion mechanism.

Core-collapse Supernovae Induced by Anisotropic Neutrino Radiation
We demonstrate the important role of anisotropic neutrino radiation on the mechanism of core-collapse supernova explosions. Through a new parameter study with a fixed radiation field of neutrinos, we show that prolate explosions caused by globally anisotropic neutrino radiation is the most effective mechanism of increasing the explosion energy when the total neutrino luminosity is given. This i...
متن کاملExplosions of O - Ne - Mg cores , the Crab supernova , and subluminous Type II - P supernovae
We present results of simulations of stellar collapse and explosions in spherical symmetry for progenitor stars in the 8–10 M⊙ range with an O-Ne-Mg core. The simulations were continued until nearly one second after core bounce and were performed with the P/V code with a variable Eddington factor solver for the neutrino transport, including a state-of-the-art treatment of neutrino...
متن کاملSupernova Neutrino Process and its Impact on the Galactic Chemical Evolution of the Light Elements
In order to resolve the overproduction problem of B in supernova explosions during Galactic chemical evolution, the dependence of the ejected masses of the light elements produced through the ν-process in supernova explosions on supernova neutrino parameters is investigated and constraints on the supernova neutrinos are evaluated. Detailed nucleosynthesis in a supernova explosion model correspo...
متن کاملSearch for High Energetic Neutrinos from Supernova Explosions with AMANDA
Supernova explosions are among the most energetic phenomena in the known universe. There are suggestions that cosmic rays up to EeV energies might be accelerated in the young supernova shell on time scales of a few weeks to years, which would lead to TeV neutrino radiation. The data taken with the AMANDA neutrino telescope in the years 2000 to 2006 is analysed with a likelihood approach in orde...
متن کاملGlobal anisotropy vs small-scale fluctuation of neutrino flux in supernova explosions
Effects of small-scale fluctuation of neutrino radiation on supernova explosions are examined. We found that there were large differences between the results of globally anisotropic neutrino radiation and those with fluctuation. As the number of modes of fluctuation increased, the shock positions, entropy distributions, and explosion energies approached those of spherical explosion. It was conc...
