| Abstract: | Nonlinear processes describing the interaction of neutrinos with collective plasma oscillations and the excitation of plasma turbulence by a large neutrino flux is discussed. The excitation considered is the inverse processes of neutrino emission by plasma waves first considered by Tsytovich (V.N. Tsytovich, Soviet Fiz. Dokl. 9 (1965) 1114). The process is similar to a beam plasma instability considered as inverse Landau damping in which the usual electromagnetic interactions are important. In the neutrino beam relaxation the weak interaction can play a similar role. We emphasize here the possibility of another process namely the interaction of an intense neutrino flux with a strongly turbulent plasma. The turbulence can also be assumed to be due to the shock produced at the early stages of a type II supernova (SN) explosion. The scattering of the neutrinos in the turbulent plasma is shown to be sufficient for transferring momentum and energy from the neutrino flux to the plasma causing the shock to continue moving outward and eventually creating the blow-off of the mantle of the star producing type II SN. |
