Neutrino transport: no asymmetry in equilibrium
arXiv:astro-ph/9806205 · doi:10.1016/S0370-2693(98)00918-6
Abstract
A small asymmetry in the flux of neutrinos emitted by a hot newly-born neutron star could explain the observed motions of pulsars. However, even in the presence of parity-violating processes with anisotropic scattering amplitudes, no asymmetry is generated in thermal equilibrium. We explain why this no-go theorem stymies some of the proposed explanations for the pulsar ``kick'' velocities.
