Untangling supernova-neutrino oscillations with beta-beam data
Neutrinos are the only particles able to reach the earth straight from the center of a core-collapse supernova. But the information that can be gathered from their signal in a terrestrial detector is limited by the fact that little experimental data on neutrino-nucleus interactions exists and by uncertainties in theoretical calculations. Neutrino oscillations are a further complication : the en...
متن کاملSupernova neutrino nucleosynthesis of light elements with neutrino oscillations.
Light element synthesis in supernovae through neutrino-nucleus interactions, i.e., the v process, is affected by neutrino oscillations in the supernova environment. There is a resonance of 13-mixing in the O/C layer, which increases the rates of charged-current -process reactions in the outer He-rich layer. The yields of 7Li and 11B increase by about a factor of 1.9 and 1.3, respectively, for a...
متن کاملProspects for Detecting Supernova Neutrino Flavor Oscillations
The neutrinos from a Type II supernova provide perhaps our best opportunity to probe cosmologically interesting muon and/or tauon neutrino masses. This is because matter enhanced neutrino oscillations can lead to an anomalously hot νe spectrum, and thus to enhanced charged current cross sections in terrestrial detectors. Two recently proposed supernova neutrino observatories, OMNIS and LAND, wi...
متن کاملSupernova neutrino oscillations: what do we understand?
We summarize our current understanding of the neutrino flavor conversions inside a core collapse supernova, clarifying the important role played by the “collective effects” in determining flavor conversion probabilities. The potentially observable νe and ν̄e spectra may help us identify the neutrino mixing scenario, distinguish between primary flux models, and learn more about the supernova expl...
متن کاملSupernova neutrino oscillations: A simple analytical approach
Analyses of observable supernova neutrino oscillation effects require the calculation of the electron (anti)neutrino survival probability Pee along a given supernova matter density profile. We propose a simple analytical prescription for Pee, based on a double-exponential form for the crossing probability and on the concept of maximum violation of adiabaticity. In the case of two-flavor transit...
