Response to Comments on "Neutrino Flavor Evolution Near a Supernova's Core"

Astrophysics 2007-05-23 v1 High Energy Physics - Phenomenology

Abstract

In a recent paper I concluded that the neutrino background is important for calculating neutrino flavor evolution in supernovae, and including it weakens the connection between r-process nucleosynthesis and cosmologically relevant neutrino masses. Comments on this paper have been posted to this bulletin board; one by J. Cline and the other by Y.Z. Qian and G.M. Fuller. Here I briefly discuss these Comments and demonstrate that they are inaccurate and ill-considered. No corrections to my paper are necessary.
