Particle-in-cell Simulation of the Neutrino Fast Flavor Instability
Sherwood Richers, Don E. Willcox, Nicole M. Ford +1
Neutrinos drive core-collapse supernovae, launch outflows from neutron star merger accretion disks, and set the ratio of protons to neutrons in ejecta from both systems that genera…
Rank-3 Moment Closures in General Relativistic Neutrino Transport
Sherwood Richers
Many modern simulations of accretion disks use moment-based methods for radiation transport to determine the thermal evolution of the disk and the properties of the ejected matter.…
Comparing treatments of weak reactions with nuclei in simulations of core-collapse supernovae
Hiroki Nagakura, Shun Furusawa, Hajime Togashi +3
We perform an extensive study of the influence of nuclear weak interactions on core-collapse supernovae (CCSNe), paying particular attention to consistency between nuclear abundanc…
FRIB and the GW170817 Kilonova
A. Aprahamian, R. Surman, A. Frebel +45
In July 2018 an FRIB Theory Alliance program was held on the implications of GW170817 and its associated kilonova for r-process nucleosynthesis. Topics of discussion included the a…
A Detailed Comparison of Multi-Dimensional Boltzmann Neutrino Transport Methods in Core-Collapse Supernovae
Sherwood Richers, Hiroki Nagakura, Christian D. Ott +3
The mechanism driving core-collapse supernovae is sensitive to the interplay between matter and neutrino radiation. However, neutrino radiation transport is very difficult to simul…
