Collisional instabilities of neutrinos and their interplay with fast flavor conversion in compact objects
arXiv:2208.11059 · doi:10.1103/PhysRevD.106.103029
Abstract
Fast and collisional flavor instabilities possibly occur in the neutrino decoupling regions of core-collapse supernovae and neutron-star mergers. To gain a better understanding of the relevant flavor dynamics, we numerically solve for the collisionally unstable evolution in a homogeneous, anisotropic model. In these calculations collisional instability is precipitated by unequal neutrino and antineutrino scattering rates. We compare the solutions obtained using neutral-current and charged-current interactions. We then study the nonlinear development of fast instabilities subjected to asymmetric scattering rates, finding evidence that the onset of collisional instability is hastened by fast oscillations. We also discuss connections to other recent works on collision-affected fast flavor conversion.
