Abstract: | 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. | |
