Enhancement of the Sterile Neutrino Yield at High Density and Increasing Neutronization of Matter

摘要

The relative yields of active and sterile neutrinos in matter with a high density and different degrees of neutronization have been calculated. A significant increase in the proportion of sterile neutrinos produced in superdense matter when the degree of neutronization approaches two has been found. The results obtained can be used to calculate the neutrino fluxes for matter with a high density and different degrees of neutronization in astrophysical processes, for example, the formation of a protoneutron supernova core.
