Effect of Protoneutron Star Magnetized Envelops in Neutrino Energy Spectra

Abstract

The neutrino dynamics in hot and dense magnetized matter, which corresponds with protoneutron star envelopes in the core collapse supernova explosions, is considered. The kinetic equation for a neutrino phase space distribution function is obtained, taking into account inelastic scattering by nuclear particles. The transfer component in a momentum space using transport properties is studied. The energy transfer coefficient is shown to change from positive to negative values when the neutrino energy exceeds four times the matter temperature. In the vicinity of a neutrino sphere, such effects are illustrated to lead to the energy strengthening in the neutrino spectra. As this paper demonstrates, such a property is favorable for the possibility of observing supernova neutrino fluxes using Large Volume Neutrino Telescopes.
