New Neutrino Interactions and Core-Collapse Supernovae with Anna M. Suliga
Anna M. Suliga (hosted by Writasree Maitra) from New York University will be presenting the Physics Theory Seminar on New Neutrino Interactions and Core-Collapse Supernovae.
In this talk, I will first discuss how the lepton-number neutrino self-interactions can affect the dynamics of the collapsing supernova core. Following, I will show how the non-standard neutrino-quark interactions affect the pre-neutrinozation neutrino signal from the core-collapse supernova. Next, I will demonstrate how the neutral-current channels in the large-scale neutrino detectors and large-scale dark matter detectors are ideal to identify such signals as they resist any neutrino flavor conversions degeneracies.
This lecture was made possible by the William C. Ferguson Fund.
