Medium modification of the charged-current neutrino opacity and its implications
Medium modification of the charged-current neutrino opacity and its implications
Previous work on neutrino emission from proto-neutron stars which employed full solutions of the Boltzmann equation showed that the average energies of emitted electron neutrinos and antineutrinos are closer to one another than predicted by older, more approximate work. This in turn implied that the neutrino driven wind is proton …
