We derive an expression for the scattering functions for electron-neutrino and electronanti-neutrino Compton scattering in a form suitable for a numerical solution of the neutrino transfer equations. An analytical expression is given for the case of large electron degeneracy. The modification due to possible neutral currents is discussed. 相似文献

The equations of neutrino hydrodynamics are derived in two different approximations taking into consideration the neutrino scattering from stellar material. In a thermal-conductivity approximation which holds good when neutrino optical depth with respect to absorption exceeds 1, the neutrino scattering is taken into account, analogously with photon radiative conductivity, by introducing the transport cross-section in the neutrino mean free path. In a practically important case when the neutrino optical thickness with respect to scattering is high enough, whereas that concerning absorption is sufficiently low, another approximation of Comptonized neutrinos is valid. In this case, the neutrino and antineutrino chemical potentials are independent of each other. They have to be calculated from equations of continuity established for neutrino and antineutrino alongside with the diffusion equation expressing the law of lepton-charge conservation. The equations of neutrino hydrodynamics are written out both with and without inclusion of muon neutrinos and antineutrinos.The equations obtained are established to deal properly with neutrino diffusion inside collapsing stars. 相似文献

We have ascertained an important role of rotation effects in a collapsing stellar core using a quasi-one-dimensional hydrodynamic
model with a rigorous allowance for the neutrino energy losses including the neutrino opacity stage. However, the neutrino
scattering processes are not considered in the neutrino emission kinetics as secondary compared to the absorption processes.
The quasi-one-dimensional approximation (with averaging of the expression for the centrifugal force over the polar angle)
allows numerical calculations to be performed relatively easily up to the formation of a hydrostatically equilibrium neutron
star after a very long stage of collapsar cooling by neutrino emission (about 2 s). We present detailed results of our numerical
solution, including the neutrino spectra, with electron neutrinos making a dominant contribution to them and the contribution
from electron antineutrinos being smaller by an order of magnitude. In the model under consideration, we solve the equation
of matter neutronization kinetics by taking into account the main process of nuclear reactions on free nucleons, although
the contribution from iron and helium nuclei is included in the equation of state. 相似文献

The photo-coulomb neutrino process has been considered in the electro-weak theory and the influence of this process to the evolution of stars has been outlined. The scattering cross-section of this process is calculated in both low and high energy limit. The neutrino mass has been taken into account in this calculation. In the low-energy limit the neutrino luminosity is computed in the temperature range 108–109 K and is also compared to the previous result obtained according to the current-current coupling theory. The process may be significant for the evolution of stars in the later phases. 相似文献

A novel method is presented which will enhance the sensitivity of neutrino telescopes to identify transient sources such as Gamma-Ray Bursts (GRBs) and core-collapse Supernovae (SNe). Triggered by the detection of high energy neutrino events from IceCube or other large scale neutrino telescopes, an optical follow-up program will allow the identification of the transient neutrino source. We show that once the follow-up program is implemented, the achievable sensitivity of IceCube to neutrinos from SNe and GRBs would increase by a factor of 2–3. The program can be realized with a small network of automated 1–2 m telescopes and has rather modest observing time requirements. 相似文献

We calculated the expected neutrino signal in Borexino from a typical Type II supernova at a distance of 10 kpc. A burst of around 110 events would appear in Borexino within a time interval of about 10 s. Most of these events would come from the reaction channel
, while about 30 events would be induced by the interaction of the supernova neutrino flux on 12C in the liquid scintillator. Borexino can clearly distinguish between the neutral-current excitations 12C(ν,ν′)12C* (15.11 MeV) and the charged-current reactions 12C(νe,e−)12N and
, via their distinctive event signatures. The ratio of the charged-current to neutral-current neutrino event rates and their time profiles with respect to each other can provide a handle on supernova and non-standard neutrino physics (mass and flavor oscillations). 相似文献

We discuss here what model independent information about properties of neutrinos and of the sun can be obtained from future solar neutrino experiments (SNO, Super-Kamiokande). It is shown that in the general case of transitions of solar νe's into νμ and/or ντ the initial 8B neutrino flux can be measured by the observation of NC events. From the CC measurements the νe survival probability can be determined as a function of neutrino energy. The general case of transitions of solar νe's into active as well as sterile neutrinos is considered. A number of relations between measurable quantities the test of which will allow to answer the question whether there are sterile neutrinos in the solar neutrino flux on the earth are derived. Transitions of solar νe's into active and sterile states due to neutrino mixing and Dirac magnetic moments or into active left-handed neutrinos and active right-handed antineutrinos due to neutrino mixing and Majorana transition magnetic moments are also considered. It is shown that future solar neutrino experiments will allow to distinguish between the cases of Dirac and Majorana magnetic moments. 相似文献

The interaction of neutrinos with nuclei in the superdense matter of a collapsing star is studied, taking into account the collective modes and thermal fluctuations of the medium density. It is shown that the elastic neutrino scattering by nuclei with a momentum transfer less than or of the order of the inverse distance between the ions in the nonideal Coulomb plasma, differs considerably from the analogous scattering by a single nucleus. The weak A interaction screening by medium electrons is taken into account. The collision integral and transport cross section of neutrino scattering by nuclei are calculated in terms of macroscopic medium parameters. 相似文献

In recent papers it was claimed that SN 1987A data supports the existence of 4.0 eV and 21.4 eV active neutrino mass eigenstates, and it was suggested that such large active neutrino masses could be made consistent with existing constraints including neutrino oscillation data and upper limits on the neutrino flavor state masses. The requirement was that there exist a pair of sterile neutrino mass states nearly degenerate with the active ones, plus a third active-sterile doublet that is tachyonic (m 2<0). Here, independent evidence is presented for the existence of sterile neutrinos with the previously claimed masses based on fits to the dark matter distributions in the Milky Way galaxy and four clusters of galaxies. The fits are in excellent agreement with observations within the uncertainties of the masses. In addition, sterile neutrinos having the suggested masses address the “cusp” problem and the missing satellites problem, as well as that of the “top down” scenario of structure formation—previously a chief drawback of HDM particles. Nevertheless, due to the highly controversial nature of the claim, and the need for two free parameters in the dark matter fits, additional confirming evidence will be required before it can be considered proven. 相似文献

Neutrino spin precession effects in the magnetic field of the Sun are considered as an explanation of the outcome of Davis' solar neutrino experiments. Theoretically, it is possible to account for a neutrino magnetic moment only as the result of the interaction of the electromagnetic field with charged particles into which the neutrino can transform virtually. The currently accepted theory of weak interactions (the two component neutrino andV-A interactions) forbids a resulting magnetic moment interaction with the electromagnetic field for all such virtual processes. Modifications of this theory are considered to find out whether an appreciable precession effect is permitted within the experimentally established limits. It is found that the value for the neutrino magnetic moment evaluated under these theoretically anomalous circumstances is still so small that only the largest possible estimate for the magnetic field strength in the Sun's interior would cause the required effect.The author has received scholarship support from the Latin American Scholarship Program of American Universities during the preparation of this work. 相似文献

We searched for a sidereal modulation in the rate of neutrinos produced by the NuMI beam and observed by the MINOS far detector. The detection of such harmonic signals could be a signature of neutrino–antineutrino mixing due to Lorentz and CPT violation as described by the Standard-Model Extension framework. We found no evidence for these sidereal signals and we placed limits on the coefficients in this theory describing the effect. This is the first report of limits on these neutrino–antineutrino mixing coefficients. 相似文献

We consider the processes that might suppress the time variations in the solar neutrino flux produced by the radial motion of the Earth through the neutrino interference pattern. We calculate these time variations and the extent to which they are suppressed by Coulomb collisions of the neutrino-emitting nuclei. This is done for both the 0.862-MeV 7 Be neutrino line and the continuous neutrino spectrum, assuming a Gaussian energy response function of the neutrino detector. We find that the collisional decoherence averages out the time variations for neutrino masses A simple and clear physical picture of the time-dependent solar neutrino problem is presented and qualitative coherence criteria are discussed. 相似文献

The constraints on total neutrino mass and effective number of neutrino species based on CMB anisotropy power spectrum, Hubble constant, baryon acoustic oscillations and galaxy cluster mass function data are presented. It is shown that discrepancies between various cosmological data in Hubble constant and density fluctuation amplitude, measured in standard ΛCDM cosmological model, can be eliminated if more than standard effective number of neutrino species and non-zero total neutrino mass are considered. This extension of ΛCDM model appears to be ≈3σ significant when all cosmological data are used. The model with approximately one additional neutrino type, N eff ≈ 4, and with non-zero total neutrino mass, Σmν ≈ 0.5 eV, provide the best fit to the data. In the model with only one massive neutrino the upper limits on neutrino mass are slightly relaxed. It is shown that these deviations from ΛCDM model appearmainly due to the usage of recent data on the observations of baryon acoustic oscillations. The larger than standard number of neutrino species is measured mainly due to the comparison of the BAO data with direct measurements of Hubble constant, which was already noticed earlier. As it is shown below, the data on galaxy cluster mass function in this case give the measurement of non-zero neutrino mass. 相似文献

We carried out a Monte Carlo simulation calculation on the observed data of neutrino events of the supernova SN1987A. Our results show that the best value for the rest-mass of neutrino is 3–4 eV. We also calculated the light curve of the neutrino bursts and the energy spectrum.Our results impose constraints on the rest-mass of neutrino and the mass of the precursor of SN 1987A. 相似文献

Gamma-ray burst analyses at neutrino telescopes are typically based on diffuse or stacked (i.e., aggregated) neutrino fluxes, because the number of events expected from a single burst is small. The interpretation of aggregated flux limits implies new systematics not present for a single burst, such as by the integration over parameter distributions (diffuse fluxes), or by the low statistics in small burst samples (stacked fluxes). We simulate parameter distributions with a Monte Carlo method computing the spectra burst by burst, as compared to a conventional Monte Carlo integration. With this approach, we can predict the behavior of the flux in the diffuse limit as well as in low statistics stacking samples, such as used in recent IceCube data analyses. We also include the flavor composition at the detector (ratio between muon tracks and cascades) into our considerations. We demonstrate that the spectral features, such as a characteristic multi-peak structure coming from photohadronic interactions, flavor mixing, and magnetic field effects, are typically present even in diffuse neutrino fluxes if only the redshift distribution of the sources is considered, with z ? 1 dominating the neutrino flux. On the other hand, we show that variations of the Lorentz boost can only be interpreted in a model-dependent way, and can be used as a model discriminator. For example, we illustrate that the observation of spectral features in aggregated fluxes will disfavor the commonly used assumption that bursts with small Lorentz factors dominate the neutrino flux, whereas it will be consistent with the hypothesis that the bursts have similar properties in the comoving frame. 相似文献

We calculate the event rates induced by a 51Cr νe source and by a 90Sr---90Y
source in BOREXINO through elastic scattering on electrons, assuming a nonzero neutrino magnetic moment μν. We consider a source activity of about 2 MCi and estimate the solar ν (“source-off”) background for various oscillation scenarios. It is shown that values of μν as low as 0.5 × 10−10μB ( 0.2 × 10−10μB) can be proved with the 51Cr source (90Sr source) in about 100 days of data taking. 相似文献

Blazar emission of gamma rays and cosmic ray production of gamma rays in gas-rich clusters have been proposed recently as alternative sources of the high energy extragalactic diffuse gamma ray background radiation. We show that these sources also produce very different high energy extragalactic diffuse neutrino background radiations. An extragalactic neutrino background radiation may be detected by the new generation of large neutrino telescopes under construction and may be used to trace the origin of the extragalactic gamma radiation. 相似文献

The solar neutrino problem could arise from oscillation of one neutrinotype into a secondtype. Neutrinos would have a mass and there could be the possibility ofradiative neutrino decays. We discuss the search for neutrino decaysduring the 1999 solar eclipse: it involves the emitted visible photons,while neutrinos travel from the Moon to the Earth. The concept and themain characteristics of the NOTTE experiment are presented. 相似文献

We estimate the flux of the gamma-ray burst (GRB) neutrino background and compute the event rate at SK and TITAND in the collapsar model, assuming that GRB formation rate is proportional to the star formation rate. We find that the predicted background neutrino flux is highly sensitive to unknown model parameters, mainly to the mass–accretion rate, to the fraction of disk energy emitted in thermal neutrinos (as opposed to emission through electromagnetic processes), and to the fraction of collapsar events leading to GRBs. The predicted neutrino flux varies over many orders of magnitude as the values of unknown model parameters are varied. We investigate the detection possibility of thermal neutrinos from collapsars which lead to GRBs by TITAND. We find that the GRB neutrino background might be detected by TITAND within 10 yrs only for the optimistic cases in which the average mass–accretion rate is high ( a few M s−1), and the probability that one collapsar generates a GRB is high (f=0.5–1.0). 相似文献
