Description |
I will discuss fast flavor oscillations of neutrinos - a novel mode of neutrino oscillation available if the neutrino density is large, as may happen inside supernovae, in neutron star mergers, and in the early universe. I will first discuss a condition that must be fulfilled for such oscillations to start. Then I will discuss what is the possible end result of these rapid flavor oscillations occurring over less than a centimetre, including their possible impact on stars and element creation.
