Abstract

We consider supernova SN1987A to find bounds on parameter of noncommutativity, thμν\th_{\mu\nu}. Right handed neutrino in the noncommutative standard model, NCSM, can directly couple to the photon and the Z-gauge boson. Therefore the observed flux of neutrinos from SN1987A can constrain the strength of the new couplings in the NCSM. We obtain two bounds on the NC-parameter, ΛNC=1/th\Lambda_{NC}=1/{\sqrt |\th|} , with respect to escaping or trapping of the right handed neutrinos inside the supernova which are ΛNC3.7TeV\Lambda_{NC}\gtrsim 3.7 TeV or ΛNC1TeV\Lambda_{NC}\lesssim 1 TeV, respectively. The excluded region 1TeVΛNC3.7TeV1 TeV\lesssim\Lambda_{NC}\lesssim 3.7 TeV for the NC-parameter is obtained for the first time. In fact ΛNC1TeV\Lambda_{NC}\lesssim 1 TeV is consistent with the existing bounds on ΛNC\Lambda_{NC} and raises our hopes to find the NC-effects in the LHC or even in the LEP. Meanwhile ΛNC3.7TeV\Lambda_{NC}\gtrsim 3.7 TeV is more stringent than the other bounds obtained from LEP and LHC considerations. Furthermore, since NC-calculations are perturbative and are correct only up to the energy scale of the NC-system ΛNC\lesssim\Lambda_{NC} , therefore these bounds which are obtained from the energy scale considerably less than the energy scale of LEP and LHC are more reliable.
