Description
Neutrinos, despite their weak interactions, play an important role in core-collapse supernova evolution. In the supernova core, the neutrino number density is so high that the coherent forward scattering among neutrinos leads to flavor conversion, a phenomenon that can alter both the supernova explosion dynamics and nucleosynthesis. In this talk, I will discuss how to identify the necessary conditions for fast neutrino flavor conversion in core-collapse supernova simulations, and how they are affected by the presence of muons and convection.
