Asymmetric neutrino emission due to neutrino-nucleon scatterings in supernova magnetic fields
Abstract We derive the cross section of neutrino-nucleon scatterings in supernova magnetic fields, including weak-magnetism and recoil corrections. Since the weak interaction violates the parity, the scattering cross section asymmetrically depends on the directions of the neutrino momenta to the magnetic field; the origin of pulsar kicks may be explained by the mechanism. An asymmetric neutrino...
متن کاملThe Decay of Tau Leptons Produced in Neutrino-Nucleon Scatterings
Energy and angular distributions of the τ decay products in the CERN-to-Gran Sasso ντ appearance experiments are studied for the decay modes τ → πν and τ → lν̄ν (l = e or μ). We find that the decay particle distributions in the laboratory frame are significantly affected by the τ polarization. Rather strong azimuthal asymmetry of π and l about the τ momentum axis is predicted, which may have obs...
متن کاملNeutrino magnetic moment signatures in the supernova neutrino signal
It is known that if neutrino is a Dirac fermion with magnetic moment, then νL → νR → νL transition of supernova neutrinos may occur. The first stage of such transition is due to the neutrino spin flip inside the hot dense supernova core, while the second one – due to the neutrino spin precession in the galactic magnetic field on the way from the supernova to terrestrial detectors. This can resu...
متن کاملSupernova Neutrino Opacity from Nucleon-Nucleon Bremsstrahlung and Related Processes
Elastic scattering on nucleons, νN → Nν, is the dominant supernova (SN) opacity source for μ and τ neutrinos. The dominant energyand number-changing processes were thought to be νe → eν and νν̄ ↔ ee until Suzuki (1993) showed that the bremsstrahlung process νν̄NN ↔ NN was actually more important. We find that for energy exchange, the related “inelastic scattering process” νNN ↔ NNν is even more e...
متن کاملParity Violation in Neutrino Transport and the Origin of Pulsar Kicks
In proto-neutron stars with strong magnetic fields, the neutrino-nucleon scattering/absorption cross sections depend on the direction of neutrino momentum with respect to the magnetic field axis, a manifestation of parity violation in weak interactions. We study the deleptonization and thermal cooling (via neutrino emission) of proto-neutron stars in the presence of such asymmetric neutrino opa...
