Neutrino Winds Group

$\tau$-Neutrino: Sherwood Richers (Parameter Person)

$\mu$-Neutrino: Rashi Talwar (Analysis Person)

$e$-Neutrino: Bastian Schütrumpf (Code Person)

Goal

Simulate neutrino interactions changing the composition of a neutrino-driven wind.

  • $\nu_e$ + n –> e + p
  • $\bar{\nu}_e$ + p –> e+ + n

Procedure

  • Calculate reaction rates given electron neutrino energy & flux, and electron anti-neutrino energy and flux
  • modify XNet to include these reaction rates
  • Run XNet over a typical neutrino-driven wind trajectory.

Resources

  • Neutrino cross-sections for n and p (Burrows, Reddy, Thompson 2006)
  • neutrino-driven wind trajectory (from Raph Hix, or arxiv.org/pdf/astro-ph/9912156.pdf, or arxiv.org/pdf/0908.1871.pdf)
