The neutrino flux close to a supernova core contributes substantially to neutrino refraction so that flavor oscillations become a nonlinear phenomenon. One unexpected consequence is efficient flavor transformation for anti-neutrinos in a region where only neutrinos encounter an MSW resonance or vice versa. Contrary to previous studies we find that in the neutrino-driven wind the electron fraction Y_e always stays below 0.5, corresponding to a neutron-rich environment as required by r-process nucleosynthesis. The relevant range of masses and mixing angles includes the region indicated by LSND, but not the atmospheric or solar oscillation parameters.

    astro-ph.HE 2019-09 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    Neutrino self-interactions inside neutrino-cooled accretion disks are argued to push flavors toward equipartition, reducing the neutrino-antineutrino annihilation energy deposition around black holes by a factor up to...

    hep-ph 2026-06 unverdicted novelty 5.0 of 10

    Neutronization burst and accretion-phase rise-time observables from a 10 kpc core-collapse supernova enable DUNE, HK and JUNO to discriminate neutrino mass ordering at 3-6 sigma using multiple progenitor simulations.
