Astrophysical Neutrinos and Flavor Evolution with Self Interaction
Astrophysical Neutrinos and Flavor Evolution with Self Interaction
In a core collapse supernova, collective oscillations of neutrinos emitted by the proto-neutron star significantly modifies the partition of energy between different flavors in a way which is potentially important for the nucleosynthesis of heavy elements at the outer layers. As the outcome of collective oscillations depends nonlinearly on the …
