Abstract

Accurate neutrino transport is crucial for reliably modeling explosive astrophysical events like core-collapse supernovae (CCSNe) and neutron star mergers (NSMs). However, in these extremely neutrino-dense systems, flavor oscillations exhibit challenging nonlinear effects rooted in neutrino–neutrino forward scattering. Evidence is quickly accumulating that these collective phenomena can substantially affect explosion dynamics, neutrino and gravitational-wave signals, nucleosynthesis, and kilonova light curves. We review the progress made so far on the difficult and conceptually deep question of how to correctly include this physics in simulations of CCSNe and NSMs. Our aim is to take a broad view of where the problem stands and provide a critical assessment of where it is headed.

核心坍缩超新星和中子星合并中的中微子振荡

精确的中微子输运对于可靠地模拟核心坍缩超新星（CCSNe）和中子星合并（nsm）等爆炸性天体物理事件至关重要。然而，在这些中微子密度极高的系统中，风味振荡表现出具有挑战性的非线性效应，其根源在于中微子-中微子前向散射。证据正在迅速积累，这些集体现象可以实质性地影响爆炸动力学、中微子和引力波信号、核合成和千新星光曲线。我们回顾了迄今为止在如何在CCSNe和nsm的模拟中正确地包含这种物理的困难和概念上深刻的问题上取得的进展。我们的目标是对问题的现状有一个广泛的看法，并对问题的发展方向提供一个批判性的评估。

期刊介绍： The Annual Review of Nuclear and Particle Science is a publication that has been available since 1952. It focuses on various aspects of nuclear and particle science, including both theoretical and experimental developments. The journal covers topics such as nuclear structure, heavy ion interactions, oscillations observed in solar and atmospheric neutrinos, the physics of heavy quarks, the impact of particle and nuclear physics on astroparticle physics, and recent advancements in accelerator design and instrumentation. One significant recent change in the journal is the conversion of its current volume from gated to open access. This conversion was made possible through Annual Reviews' Subscribe to Open program. As a result, all articles published in the current volume are now freely available to the public under a CC BY license. This change allows for greater accessibility and dissemination of research in the field of nuclear and particle science.
