Neutrinos in a core-collapse supernova undergo coherent flavor transformations in their own background. We explore this phenomenon during the cooling stage of the explosion. Our three-flavor calculations reveal qualitatively new effects compared to a two-flavor analysis. These effects are especially clearly seen for the inverted mass hierarchy: we find a different pattern of spectral "swaps" in the neutrino spectrum and a novel "mixed" spectrum for the antineutrinos. A brief discussion of the relevant physics is presented, including the instability of the two-flavor evolution trajectory, the 3-flavor pattern of spectral "swaps," and partial nonadiabaticity of the evolution.

    hep-ph 2026-07 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    Nearby neutrino flavor conversion in a supernova can boost νp-process yields of p-nuclides like 92Mo and 92Nb by up to two orders of magnitude, matching solar abundances when conversion starts within ~10 km of the pro...

  2. Neutrino halo effect on collective neutrino oscillation in iron core-collapse supernova model of a 9.6 $M_{\odot}$ star

    astro-ph.HE 2019-08 conditional novelty 6.0 of 10

    For a 9.6 solar mass supernova, including scattered halo neutrinos delays the onset of collective neutrino oscillation at early times and sharpens spectral swap features, improving their detectability.
