Diffuse SN Neutrino Background(DSNB) Neutrinos emitted from all past SN explosions fill the universe as a diffuse background,ie (DSNB). To estimate DSNB,model of neutrino spectrum from each SN(F 0 ) and SN Formation Rate(R SN ) are required.

Collective Neutrino Flavor transition Neutrino-Neutrino interaction inside SN is not negligible. neutrino-neutrino interactions can lead to conversion of neutrinos and antineutrinos of different energies with same frequency = Collective Oscillation After a few hundred kilometers these interaction effects become smaller and eventually ends with Swapping of e and τ above a critical Energy(E c ) in IH Complete swapping of the e and τ IH No effect on flux if the Hierarchy is Normal (NH).

Inside Supernovae Collective Flavor transitions dominates at about 400 km. MSW resonances happens at about 10 4 km. Thus MSW and Collective neutrino resonances in Supernovae happen independently. Sovan Chakraborty NuHoRIzons09 HRI 7th-9th January 2009 p.34

TYPE II SN AND NEUTRINO : Onion Shell like structure with Iron core at the center and burning of Si,S,O,C,He,H. Photodisintegration of Fe and Neutronisation reduce pressure support = Rapid Core Collapse Neutrino Trapping at a core density 10 11 gm/cc. Density of core ρ nuclmatter More contraction = Shock wave. Thermal from pair production revitalize stalled shock = SUPERNOVA Sovan Chakraborty NuHoRIzons09 HRI 7th-9th January 2009 p.65
Vacuum Oscillation Solar and Atmospheric Neutrino experiments indicate Neutrinos are Massive. Mixing is the most sensitive probe of mass Mass eigenstate m is different than flavor eigenstate l. l = u lm m u lm =Mixing Matrix At time t l (t) = u lm m e ie mt Sovan Chakraborty NuHoRIzons09 HRI 7th-9th January 2009 p.66
