Abstract
The active-sterile neutrino conversion is studied for neutrino propagating in the axial potential generated by magnetised electron plasma in the supernova medium. We consider the effect of random magnetic field on the average neutrino conversion probability. We obtained the constraint on and for different strength of the random magnetic fields, by considering the positive definiteness of the average neutrino conversion probability inside the supernova core. Our calculation shows that, Gauss is preferable so that small values of can not be excluded.
