Supernova constraints on neutrino mass and mixing
نویسندگان
چکیده
In this article I review the constraints on neutrino mass and mixing coming from type-II supernovae. The bounds obtained on these parameters from shock reheating, r-process nucleosynthesis and from SN1987A are discussed. Given the current constraints on neutrino mass and mixing the effect of oscillations of neutrinos from a nearby supernova explosion in future detectors will also be discussed.

Supernova neutrino fluxes from the LSD neutrino signal from SN1987A
Detection of 5 events by the Liquid Scintillation Detector (LSD) on February, 23, 1987 was recently interpreted as a detection of the electron neutrino flux from the first stage of the two-stage Supernova collapse [1][2]. We show that, if neutrino mass hierarchy is normal, such interpretation excludes values of neutrino mixing angle θ13 larger than 3 · 10 , independently of the particular Super...
متن کاملCan a "natural" three-generation neutrino mixing scheme satisfy everything?
We examine the potential for a ‘‘natural’’ three-neutrino mixing scheme to satisfy available data and astrophysical arguments. By ‘‘natural’’ we mean no sterile neutrinos, and a neutrino mass hierarchy similar to that of the charged leptons. We seek to satisfy ~or solve! ~1! accelerator and reactor neutrino oscillation constraints, including LSND, ~2! the atmospheric muon neutrino deficit probl...
متن کاملAnalysis of the SN 1987 A two - stage explosion hypothesis with account for the MSW neutrino flavour conversion
Detection of 5 events by the Liquid Scintillation Detector (LSD) on February, 23, 1987 was interpreted in the literature as the detection of neutrinos from the first stage of the two-stage supernova collapse. We pose rigid constraints on the properties of the first stage of the collapse, taking into account neutrino flavour conversion due to the MSW-effect and general properties of supernova ne...
متن کاملSupernova Neutrinos, Lsnd and Miniboone
The unique constraints on neutrino oscillations which can be obtained by measuring the energy spectrum of supernova ν̄e’s are first discussed. The focus is on 4-neutrino mass and mixing models capable of explaining the LSND evidence of ν̄μ → ν̄e oscillations. The potential of the Fermilab neutrino detector MiniBooNE to observe supernova neutrinos is then addressed, and a general description of the...
متن کاملNeutrino mixing constraints and supernova nucleosynthesis.
We reexamine the constraints on mixing between electron and muon or tau neutrinos from shock-reheating and r-process nucleosynthesis in supernovae. To this end neutrino flavor evolution is described by nonlinear equations following from a quantum kinetic approach. This takes into account neutrino forward scattering off the neutrino background itself. In contrast to other claims in the literatur...
