Improved estimate of electron capture rates on nuclei during stellar core collapse
A. Juodagalvis, K. Langanke, W. R. Hix +2
Electron captures on nuclei play an important role in the dynamics of the collapsing core of a massive star that leads to a supernova explosion. Recent calculations of these captur…
Effects of Inelastic Neutrino-Nucleus Scattering on Supernova Dynamics and Radiated Neutrino Spectra
K. Langanke, G. Martinez-Pinedo, B. Mueller +5
Based on the shell model for Gamow-Teller and the Random Phase Approximation for forbidden transitions, we have calculated reaction rates for inelastic neutrino-nucleus scattering…
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…
Electron capture rates for core collapse supernovae
J. M. Sampaio, K. Langanke, G. Martinez-Pinedo +2
Electron capture rates on neutron-rich nuclei (A>65) were calculated within the Random Phase Approximation with partial number formalism, including allowed and forbidden transition…
