Recent Development on Collective Neutrino Interactions
Abstract
Description
Quantum Field Theory is applied to study an electron plasma under an intense neutrino flux. The dispersion relation of the longitudinal waves is derived and the damping rate is calculated. It is shown that in the case of Supernova emission the neutrinos are not collimated enough to cause plasma instabilities associated to a strong neutrino resonance effect.
