Neutrino Capture Induced Supernova Explosions
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 neutr...
متن کاملNew Supernova Constraints on Sterile-Neutrino Production.
We consider the possibility that a light, sterile-neutrino species νS can be produced by νe scattering during the cooling of a proto-neutron star. If we parameterize the sterile-neutrino production cross section by a parameter A as σ(νeX −→ νSX) = Aσ(νeX −→ νeX), where X is an electron, neutron, or proton, we show that A is constrained by limits to the conversion of νe to νS in the region betwe...
متن کاملCriteria for Core-collapse Supernova Explosions by the Neutrino Mechanism
We investigate the criteria for successful core-collapse supernova explosions by the neutrino mechanism. We find that a critical-luminosity/mass-accretion-rate condition distinguishes non-exploding from exploding models in hydrodynamic one-dimensional (1D) and two-dimensional (2D) simulations. We present 95 such simulations that parametrically explore the dependence on neutrino luminosity, mass...
متن کاملFission Cycling in Supernova Nucleosynthesis: Active-Sterile Neutrino Oscillations
We investigate nucleosynthesis in the supernovae post-core bounce neutrino-driven wind environment in the presence of active-sterile neutrino transformation. We consider active-sterile neutrino oscillations for a range of mixing parameters: vacuum mass-squared differences of 0.1 eV ≤ δm ≤ 100 eV, and vacuum mixing angles of sin 2θv ≥ 10 . We find a consistent r-process pattern for a large range...
متن کاملSupernova Bounds on Resonant Active-Sterile Neutrino Conversions
We discuss the effects of resonant νe → νs and ν̄e → ν̄s (νs is a sterile neutrino) conversions in the dense medium of a supernova. In particular, we assume the sterile neutrino νs to be in the hot dark matter few eV mass range. The implications of such a scenario for the supernova shock re-heating, the detected ν̄e signal from SN1987A and for the r-process nucleosynthesis hypothesis are analysed ...
