Electron-neutrino lepton number crossings: Variations with the supernova core physics
Marie Cornelius, Irene Tamborra, Malte Heinlein +2
A crucial ingredient affecting fast neutrino flavor conversion in core-collapse supernovae (SNe) is the shape of the angular distribution of the electron-neutrino lepton number (EL…

Diagnosing electron-neutrino lepton number crossings in core-collapse supernovae: A comparison of methods
Marie Cornelius, Irene Tamborra, Malte Heinlein +1
Fast neutrino flavor conversion may impact the explosion mechanism and nucleosynthesis in core-collapse supernovae. A necessary condition for fast flavor conversion is the presence…

Neutrino quantum kinetics in two spatial dimensions
Marie Cornelius, Shashank Shalgar, Irene Tamborra
Our understanding of neutrino flavor conversion in the innermost regions of core-collapse supernovae and neutron star mergers is mostly limited to spherically symmetric configurati…
