Fast neutrino oscillations: ELN crossing, dispersion relation and dynamic waves

Presented by Huaiyu Duan, UNM

The angular distributions of the electron neutrinos and antineutrinos can cross each other deep inside a core-collapse supernova. As a result, a dynamic oscillation wave can spontaneously develop on very short time/distance scales in an initially (almost) homogeneous neutrino medium. Such fast oscillation waves provide a new way to redistribute and transport the electron lepton number which can potentially affect the dynamics and nucleosynthesis of the supernova.
