Neutrino Opacities in Nuclear Matter
Neutrino-matter cross sections and interaction rates are central to the core-collapse supernova phenomenon and, very likely, to the viability of the explosion mechanism itself. In this paper, we describe the major neutrino scattering, absorption, and production processes that together influence the outcome of core collapse and the cooling of protoneutron stars. One focus is on energy redistribu...
متن کاملHigh-energy neutrino oscillations in absorbing matter
The impact of neutrino mixing, refraction and absorption on high-energy neutrino propagation through a thick medium is studied using the MSW evolution equation with complex indices of refraction. It is found that, owing to the mixing with sterile neutrinos, the penetrability of active neutrinos may be many orders of magnitude larger than it would be in the absence of mixing. The effect is highl...
متن کاملElectron neutrino opacity in magnetised media
We study the effects of strong magnetic fields (B > ∼ 10 13 G) in the cross section for νen → pe scattering in the presence of a degenerate electron background. This can be relevant for the νe propagation in the proto–neutron star stage after supernovae collapse. We find that for field strengths B > ∼ 10 16 G(Eν/10 MeV) 2 the νe opacity is sizeably affected by the magnetic field and can lead to...
متن کاملThe Effects of Correlations on Neutrino Opacities in Nuclear Matter
Including nucleon–nucleon correlations due to both Fermi statistics and nuclear forces, we have developed a general formalism for calculating the neutral–current neutrino–nucleon scattering rates in nuclear matter. We derive corrections to the dynamic structure factors due to both density and spin correlations and find that neutrino–nucleon scattering rates are suppressed by large factors aroun...
متن کاملEarth matter density uncertainty in atmospheric neutrino oscillations
Abstract That muon neutrinos νμ oscillating into the mixture of tau neutrinos ντ and sterile neutrinos νs has been studied to explain the atmospheric νμ disappearance. In this scenario, the effect of Earth matter is a key to determine the fraction of νs. Considering that the Earth matter density has uncertainty and this uncertainty has significant effects in some neutrino oscillation cases, suc...
