Supernova neutrinos, from back of the envelope to supercomputer
arXiv:astro-ph/0701831
Abstract
While an understanding of supernova explosions will require sophisticated large-scale simulations, it is nevertheless possible to outline the most basic features of the neutrino emission resulting from stellar core collapse with a pedestrian account that, through reliance upon broadly accessible physical ideas, remains simple and largely self-contained.
