Neutrino spectra evolution during proto-neutron star deleptonization
arXiv:1112.3842 · doi:10.1103/PhysRevD.85.083003
Abstract
The neutrino-driven wind, which occurs after the onset of a core-collapse supernova explosion, has long been considered as the possible site for the synthesis of heavy r-process elements in the Universe. Only recently, it has been possible to simulate supernova explosions up to ~10 seconds, based on three-flavor Boltzmann neutrino transport. These simulations show that the neutrino luminosities and spectra of all flavors are very similar and their difference even decreases during the deleptonization of the proto-neutron star. As a consequence, the ejecta are always proton rich which rules out the possible production of heavy r-process elements (Z>56). We perform a detailed analysis of the different weak processes that determine the neutrino spectra. Non-electron flavor (anti)neutrinos are produced and interact only via neutral-current processes, while electron (anti)neutrinos have additional contributions from charge-current processes. The latter are dominated by ve absorption on neutrons and anti-ve absorption on protons. At early times, charge-current processes are responsible for spectral differences between. However, as the region of neutrino decoupling moves to higher densities during deleptonization, charge-current reactions are suppressed by final state Pauli-blocking. anti-ve absorption on protons is suppressed due to the continuously increasing chemical potential of the neutrons. ve absorption on neutrons is blocked by the increasing degeneracy of the electrons. These effects result in negligible contributions from charge-current reactions on timescales on the order of tens of seconds, depending on the progenitor star. Hence, the neutrino spectra are mainly determined from neutral-current processes which do not distinguish between the different flavors and results in the convergence of the spectra. These findings are independent of the charge-current reaction rates used...
