Sterile Neutrinos and Supernova Nucleosynthesis
A light sterile neutrino species has been introduced to explain simultaneously the solar and atmospheric neutrino puzzles and the results of the LSND experiment, while providing for a hot component of dark matter. Employing this scheme of neutrino masses and mixings, we show how matter-enhanced active-sterile (νμ,τ ⇀↽ νs) neutrino transformation followed by active-active (νμ,τ ⇀↽ νe) neutrino t...
متن کاملReconciling sterile neutrinos with Big Bang nucleosynthesis.
We re-examine the big bang nucleosynthesis (BBN) bounds on the mixing of neutrinos with sterile species. These bounds depend on the assumption that the relic neutrino asymmetry Lν is very small. We show that for Lν large enough (greater than about 10) the standard BBN bounds do not apply. We apply this result to the sterile neutrino solution to the atmospheric neutrino anomaly and show that for...

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 کاملNucleosynthesis in Early Supernova Winds II: The Role of Neutrinos
One of the outstanding unsolved riddles of nuclear astrophysics is the origin of the so called “p-process” nuclei from A = 92 to 126. Both the lighter and heavier p-process nuclei are adequately produced in the neon and oxygen shells of ordinary Type II supernovae, but the origin of these intermediate isotopes,
