Speed-up of neutrino transformations in a supernova environment
read the original abstract
When the neutral current neutrino-neutrino interaction is treated completely, rather than as an interaction among angle-averaged distributions, or as a set of flavor-diagonal effective potentials, the result can be flavor mixing at a speed orders of magnitude faster than that one would anticipate from the measured neutrino oscillation parameters. It is possible that the energy spectra of the three active species of neutrinos emerging from a supernova are nearly identical.

Neutrino Flavor Transformation in Collapsing Supermassive Objects
MSW resonances in collapsing supermassive stars swap neutrino flavors adiabatically in the normal hierarchy for neutrinos and inverted hierarchy for antineutrinos, altering the initial 5:1 electron-to-muon/tau flux ratio.

Bifurcated Impact of Neutrino Fast Flavor Conversion on Core-collapse Supernovae Informed by Multi-angle Neutrino Radiation Hydrodynamics
Fast flavor conversion of neutrinos bifurcates supernova explosion outcomes: it aids shock revival in low-mass progenitors but inhibits it in higher-mass ones, controlled by mass accretion rate.
