Collective oscillations of supernova neutrinos swap the electron neutrino and antineutrino spectra with those of another flavor in certain energy intervals bounded by sharp spectral splits. This phenomenon is far more general than previously appreciated: typically one finds one or more swaps and accompanying splits in the neutrino and antineutrino channels for both inverted and normal neutrino mass hierarchies. Depending on an instability condition, swaps develop around spectral crossings (energies where the electron neutrino or antineutrino fluxes are equal to that of another flavor, as well as infinite E where all fluxes vanish), and the widths of swaps are determined by the spectra and fluxes. Wash-out by multi-angle decoherence varies across the spectrum and splits can survive as sharp spectral features.

  1. Quasi-steady flavor configuration of multi-energy neutrino ensembles

    astro-ph.HE 2026-08 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    Semi-analytic formulas for the quasi-steady flavor state of multi-energy neutrinos reproduce numerical kinetic-equation solutions to about 10-15% accuracy in homogeneous periodic boxes.

  2. Solar-System Abundances of $p$-Nuclides Probe Collective Neutrino Oscillations in Supernovae

    hep-ph 2026-07 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    Nearby neutrino flavor conversion in a supernova can boost νp-process yields of p-nuclides like 92Mo and 92Nb by up to two orders of magnitude, matching solar abundances when conversion starts within ~10 km of the pro...

  3. Single-wave solutions of the neutrino fast flavor system. Part I. Mechanical properties

    hep-ph 2026-01 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    Single-wave neutrino flavor solutions form a non-integrable spin system without Gaudin invariants, so an exact flavor pendulum exists only for two beams and does not extend to continuous angle distributions.
