Propagating Uncertainties from Nuclear Physics to Gamma-rays in Core Collapse Supernovae
Chris L Fryer, Hendrik Schatz, Samuel Jones +18
Nuclear yields are powerful probes of supernova explosions, their engines and their progenitors. In addition, as we improve our understanding of these explosions, we can use nuclea…
Binary Neutron Star Mergers as Potential Sources for Ultra-High-Energy Cosmic Rays and High-Energy Neutrinos
Gang Guo, Yong-Zhong Qian, Meng-Ru Wu
Recent studies suggest that the most energetic cosmic rays, exceeding 100 EeV, may primarily consist of -process nuclei. This highlights binary neutron star mergers and collapsa…
Enhanced Muonization by Active-Sterile Neutrino Mixing in Protoneutron Stars
Anupam Ray, Yong-Zhong Qian
We study - and - mixing in the protoneutron star (PNS) created in a core-collapse supernova (CCSN). We point out the importance of the feedback on the g…
Correlations and Distinguishability Challenges in Supernova Models: Insights from Future Neutrino Detectors
Maria Manuela Saez, Ermal Rrapaj, Akira Harada +2
This paper explores core-collapse supernovae as crucial targets for neutrino telescopes, addressing uncertainties in their simulation results. We comprehensively analyze eighteen m…
Effects of Annihilation with Low-Energy Neutrinos on High-Energy Neutrinos from Binary Neutron Star Mergers and Rare Core-Collapse Supernovae
Gang Guo, Yong-Zhong Qian, Meng-Ru Wu
We explore the possibility that high-energy (HE) neutrinos produced from choked jets can be annihilated with low-energy (LE) neutrinos emitted from the accretion disk around a blac…
Supernovae as the Site of the r-Process: Implications for Gamma-Ray Astronomy
Y. -Z. Qian, P. Vogel, G. J. Wasserburg
We discuss how detection of gamma-ray emission from the decay of r-process nuclei can improve our understanding of r-process nucleosynthesis. We find that a gamma-ray detector with…
Diverse Supernova Sources for the r-Process
Y. -Z. Qian, P. Vogel, G. J. Wasserburg
(Abridged) It is shown that a semi-quantitative agreement with the gross solar r-process abundance pattern near and above mass number A=130 can be obtained by a superposition of tw…
Comment on "Pulsar Velocities and Neutrino Oscillations"
Y. -Z. Qian
In a recent Letter, Kusenko and Segre proposed a new mechanism to explain the observed proper motions of pulsars. Their mechanism was based on the asymmetric neutrino emission indu…
Neutrino-induced nucleosynthesis and the site of the r-process
W. C. Haxton, K. Langanke, Y. -Z. Qian +1
If the r-process occurs deep within a Type II supernova, probably the most popular of the proposed sites, abundances of r-process elements may be altered by the intense neutrino fl…
Neutrino-nucleus interaction and supernova r-process nucleosynthesis
Y. -Z. Qian
We discuss various neutrino-nucleus interactions in connection with the supernova r-process nucleosynthesis, which possibly occurs in the neutrino-driven wind of a young neutron st…
Resonant Neutrino Spin-Flavor Precession and Supernova Nucleosynthesis and Dynamics
H. Nunokawa, Y. -Z. Qian, G. M. Fuller
We discuss the effects of resonant spin-flavor precession (RSFP) of Majorana neutrinos on heavy element nucleosynthesis in neutrino-heated supernova ejecta and the dynamics of supe…
Resonant Conversion of Massless Neutrinos in Supernovae
H. Nunokawa, Y. -Z. Qian, A. Rossi +1
It has been noted for a long time that, in some circumstances, {\sl massless} neutrinos may be {\sl mixed} in the leptonic charged current. Conventional neutrino oscillation search…
Matter-enhanced antineutrino flavor transformation and supernova nucleosynthesis
Yong-Zhong Qian, George M. Fuller
Matter-enhanced antineutrino flavor transformation between and can occur in supernovae if the vacuum masses for these species satisfy $m_{\barν_e}>m_{\barν…
Neutrino-Neutrino Scattering and Matter-Enhanced Neutrino Flavor Transformation in Supernovae
Yong-Zhong Qian, George M. Fuller
We examine matter-enhanced neutrino flavor transformation () in the region above the neutrino sphere in Type II supernovae. Our treatment explicitly…
