We show that the direct Urca process of neutrino emission is allowed in two possible phases of nonspherical nuclei (inverse cylinders and inverse spheres) in the mantle of a neutron star near the crust-core interface. The process is open…
Some part of the microwave Cherenkov radiation from a particle-in-flight from vacuum to semi-infinite layered medium is redirected by the periodical structure of medium in the backward direction. This part of radiation is…
The conventional neutrino transport theory for core-collapse supernovae misses one key property of neutrinos: the left-handedness. The chirality of neutrinos modifies the hydrodynamic behavior at the macroscopic scale and leads to…
The phenomenon is described that is an analogue of the Vavilov-Cherenkov phenomenon and that could be observable in a space with the boundary separated a well reflecting light metal and a dielectric. An electron that is moving at a constant…
The current article reviews results on vacuum Cherenkov radiation obtained for modified fermions. Two classes of processes can occur that have completely distinct characteristics. The first one does not include a spin flip of the radiating…
Cherenkov radiation enables high-energy particle identification through its velocity-dependent emission angle, yet conventional detectors fail to detect momenta beyond tens of GeV/c owing to the absence of natural materials with near-unity…
Cherenkov radiation which generates by a charge moving in presence of a dielectric prism from the base to the top is analyzed. Unlike our previous works, here we consider the case when the charge trajectory is not parallel to the prism…
Based on the gravitational collapse time-scale is larger than the weak interaction time-scale at core densities $\rho > 10^{11} {gr}/ {cm}^{3}$, we approximately use the $\beta$-equilibrium condition and particle number conservations to…
Within the classical Maxwell-Chern-Simons limit of the Standard-Model Extension (SME), the emission of light by uniformly moving charges is studied confirming the possibility of a Cherenkov-type effect. In this context, the exact radiation…
A theoretical investigation of radiation field produced by a charge moving through the dielectric concentrator for Cherenkov radiation is performed for the general case where a charge trajectory is shifted with respect to the target axis.…
The mechanism by which the radiation received from obliquely rotating neutron stars is generated remains an open question half a century after the discovery of pulsars. In contrast, considerable progress has recently been made in…
We calculate the transition radiation process $\nu \to \nu \gamma$ at an interface of two media. The neutrinos are taken to be with only standard-model couplings. The medium fulfills the dual purpose of inducing an effective neutrino-photon…
It has been hypothesized recently that core collapse supernovae are triggered by mildly relativistic jets following observations of radio properties of these explosions. Association of a jet, similar to a gamma-ray burst jet but only…
We study the neutrino-photon processes like $\gamma\gamma\to\nu\bar{\nu}$ in the presence of uniform external magnetic field for the case when neutrinos can couple to the electromagnetic field directly through their dipole magnetic moment…
A new elementary mechanism of radiation due to the oscillatory character of a radiation reaction force appearing when a relativistic charged particle moves along a periodic structure without external fields is investigated. It is shown that…
We study the formation of a superfluid condensate of neutrinos inside a neutrino cluster. The attractive interaction between neutrinos is mediated by a scalar boson which is lighter than a neutrino. We consider the appearance of neutrino…
When ultrafast noncritical cascaded second-harmonic generation of energetic femtosecond pulses occur in a bulk lithium niobate crystal optical Cherenkov waves are formed in the near- to mid-IR. Numerical simulations show that the few-cycle…
Cherenkov radiation may occur whenever the source is moving faster than the waves it generates. In a radiation dominated universe, with equation-of-state $w = 1/3$, we have recently shown that the Bardeen scalar-metric perturbations…
Supernovae are the most powerful cosmic sources of MeV neutrinos. These elementary particles play a crucial role when the evolution of a massive star is terminated by the collapse of its core to a neutron star or a black hole and the star…
The temperature of a newly formed neutron star is believed to be as high as $10^{11}$~K, corresponding to a thermal energy of about $10$ MeV. After a time $t \sim 50 \ {\rm s}$, the neutrino mean free path in nuclear matter exceeds the…
