摘要：
什么因素刻画了快速中微子-味转换（FFC）的准稳态，这是中微子振荡中一个长期存在的谜题。解决这一问题对于准确模拟核坍缩超新星和双中子星合并中的中微子输运是必要的。然而，最近的FFC数值模拟表明，准稳态对空间边界条件敏感地依赖，且目前尚不清楚这种依赖的物理原因。在本研究中，我们基于稳定性论证和守恒律为这一问题提供了物理解释。稳定性可通过ELN（电子中微子-轻子数）-XLN（重轻子中微子-轻子数）角交叉的消失来确定，我们还强调了两个刻画FFC准稳态的守恒量：（1）沿每条中微子轨迹的轻子数守恒，以及（2）取决于边界条件的、与角动量相关的每种味中微子的守恒律。我们提出了一种解析判据，该判据与本研究中非线性模拟的结果相吻合。本研究在构建确定FFC渐近态的统一图景方面迈出了重要一步。
英文摘要：
The question of what ingredients characterize the quasi-steady state of fast neutrino-flavor conversion (FFC) is one of the long-standing riddles in neutrino oscillation. Addressing this issue is necessary for accurate modeling of neutrino transport in core-collapse supernova and binary neutron star merger. Recent numerical simulations of FFC have shown, however, that the quasi-steady state is sensitively dependent on boundary conditions in space, and the physical reason for the dependence is not clear at present. In this study, we provide a physical interpretation of this issue based on arguments with stability and conservation laws. The stability can be determined by the disappearance of ELN(electron neutrino-lepton number)-XLN(heavy-leptonic one) angular crossings, and we also highlight two conserved quantities characterizing the quasi-steady state of FFC: (1) lepton number conservation along each neutrino trajectory and (2) conservation law associated with angular moments, depending on boundary conditions, for each flavor of neutrinos. We present an analytic prescription that matches the results of the nonlinear simulations presented in this work. This study represents a major step forward a unified picture determining asymptotic states of FFCs.
