Neutrino self-interaction and MSW effects on the supernova neutrino-process

Abstract

We calculate the abundances of Li, B, Nb, Tc, La, and Ta produced by neutrino induced reactions in a core-collapse supernova explosion. We consider the modification by self-interaction (-SI) near the neutrinosphere and the Mikheyev-Smirnov-Wolfenstein effect in outer layers for time-dependent neutrino energy spectra. Abundances of Li and heavy isotopes Nb, Tc and La are reduced by a factor of 1.5-2.0 by the -SI. In contrast, B is relatively insensitive to the -SI. We find that the abundance ratio of heavy to light nucleus, La/B, is sensitive to the neutrino mass hierarchy, and the normal mass hierarchy is more likely to be consistent with the solar abundances.
