The damping rate and free path of neutrinos in the singlet Majoron model have been calculated including both finite temperature and symmetry breaking effects. The behaviour of right- and left-handed fermions are found inherently different.…
Neutrino-neutrino scattering could have a large secret component that would turn neutrinos within a supernova (SN) core into a self-coupled fluid. Neutrino transport within the SN core, emission from its surface, expansion into space, and…
