Nuclear, Particle, Astroparticle and Cosmology (NUPAC) Seminars
Neutrino, Supernova, and Flavor Isospin Wave
Presented by Huaiyu Duan, UNM
It has been established by various neutrino experiments that neutrinos can change their identities as they propagate in space, a phenomenon known as neutrino oscillations. This well-understood phenomenon takes a new spin during a core-collapse supernova, during which a great amount of neutrinos are unleashed in a very short amount of time. In this talk, I will explain why neutrinos are important in the physical and chemical evolution of this extreme but important astrophysical environment. I will also discuss how the dense neutrino medium surrounding the nascent star can undergo flavor oscillations by producing flavor isospin waves.
