Neutral-current neutrino-nucleus cross-sections for A~50-65 nuclei
A. Juodagalvis, K. Langanke, G. Martinez-Pinedo +3
We study neutral current neutrino-nucleus reaction cross-sections for Mn, Fe, Co and Ni isotopes. An earlier study for a few selected nuclei has shown that in the supernova environ…

The consequences of nuclear electron capture in core collapse supernovae
W. R. Hix, O. E. B. Messer, A. Mezzacappa +5
The most important weak nuclear interaction to the dynamics of stellar core collapse is electron capture, primarily on nuclei with masses larger than 60. In prior simulations of co…

Electron capture rates on nuclei and implications for stellar core collapse
K. Langanke, G. Martinez-Pinedo, J. M. Sampaio +7
Supernova simulations to date have assumed that during core collapse electron captures occur dominantly on free protons, while captures on heavy nuclei are Pauli-blocked and are ig…
