We calculate coherent neutrino and antineutrino flavor transformation in the supernova environment, for the first time including self-consistent coupling of intersecting neutrino and antineutrino trajectories. For neutrino mass-squared difference /deltam2/ = 3 x 10(-3) eV2 we find that in the normal (inverted) mass hierarchy the more tangentially-propagating (radially-propagating) neutrinos and antineutrinos can initiate collective, simultaneous medium-enhanced flavor conversion of these particles across broad ranges of energy and propagation direction. Accompanying alterations in neutrino and antineutrino energy spectra and fluxes could affect supernova nucleosynthesis and the expected neutrino signal.
我们计算了超新星环境中相干中微子和反中微子的味转换,首次纳入了相交的中微子和反中微子轨迹的自洽耦合。对于中微子质量平方差/Δm²/ = 3×10⁻³ eV²,我们发现,在正常(反转)质量层级中,切向传播(径向传播)的中微子和反中微子能够在很宽的能量和传播方向范围内引发这些粒子的集体、同时的介质增强味转换。中微子和反中微子能谱及通量的相应变化可能会影响超新星核合成及预期的中微子信号。
