摘要:

中微子-核子散射中通过核子反冲进行的小能量交换被认为是核心坍缩超新星(CCSNe)成功爆发的重要因素之一,因为它们可以通过大量散射的积累来改变中微子谱。在CCSN模拟中微子输运的有限差分方法中,我们通常无法部署足够多的能量箱来解决这种小的能量交换,并且以某种方式采用子网格技术。在本文中,我们研究定量与蒙特卡罗(MC)方法如何以及这样的治疗进行。我们首先研究了核子反冲对中微子能谱的影响,证实了在典型的后反冲情况下,重轻子中微子的平均能量减少了$\sim$ 15%,而其他类型的中微子的平均能量减少了更小的数量.同时还观察到,在所有的中微子谱热化过程中,核子散射都占主导地位。然后,我们研究可能的文物,粗能量网格可能产生的有限差分方法。为了模拟后者的计算,我们重新分配MC粒子在每个能量箱后,在一定的时间间隔,在几种方式和研究的结果如何受到影响,并取决于能量分辨率。我们还讨论了我们的结果的有限差分方法的可能影响。

英文摘要:

The small energy exchange via nucleon recoils in neutrino-nucleon scattering is now supposed to be one of the important factors for successful explosion of core-collapse supernovae (CCSNe) as they can change neutrino spectra through accumulation of a large number of scatterings. In finite-difference methods employed for neutrino transport in CCSN simulations, we normally can not afford to deploy a large enough number of energy bins needed to resolve this small energy exchange and sub-grid techniques are employed one way or another. In this paper we study quantitatively with the Monte Carlo (MC) method how well such a treatment performs. We first investigate the effects of nucleon recoils on the neutrino spectra and confirm that the average energy is reduced by $\sim$15% for heavy-lepton neutrinos and by much smaller quantities for other types of neutrinos in a typical post-bounce situation. It is also observed that the nucleon scattering dominates the electron scattering in the thermalization of neutrino spectra in all flavors. We then study possible artifacts that the coarse energy grid may produce in the finite-difference methods. In order to mimic the latter calculation, we re-distribute MC particles in each energy bin after a certain interval in a couple of ways and study how the results are affected and depend on the energy-resolution. We also discuss possible implications of our results for the finite-difference methods.
