Neutrino-nucleus elastic scattering is reduced in dense matter because of correlations between ions. The static structure factor for a plasma of electrons and ions is calculated from Monte Carlo simulations and parameterized with a least squares fit. Our results imply a large increase in the neutrino mean free path. This strongly limits the trapping of neutrinos in a supernova by coherent neutral current interactions.

Influence of neutrino-electron scattering and neutrino-pair annihilation on hypermassive neutron star
astro-ph.HE 2024-10 unverdicted novelty 4.0

Inelastic neutrino-electron scattering in hypermassive neutron star simulations increases disc mass by 75% and ejecta mass by 18% with higher neutrino luminosities, while electron-positron annihilation shows no signif...
