摘要:

确定中微子味振荡在高温高密度天体环境中大规模模拟中何时、何地以及如何包含是一个持续的挑战,必须解决以获得准确预测。通过基于角动量的线性稳定性分析框架,我们研究了中子星并合模拟后处理中不同类型的味不稳定性,特别是碰撞味不稳定性以及几种常用近似方法的仔细评估。首先,忽略中微子场的各向异性,我们研究了常用单能增长率在全多能处理结果中的再现程度。与核心坍缩超新星环境中的大差异不同,我们提出了一种简单的能量平均估计组合,以再现我们代表模拟快照中的多能增长率。然后,我们量化了额外物理效应的影响,包括核许多体修正、散射不透明度以及中微子哈密顿量中真空项的包含。最后,我们包括中微子分布各向异性,这使我们能够在多能设置中首次探索碰撞、快和慢模式之间的相互作用。我们发现,尽管快不稳定性在大部分模拟体积中占主导地位,某些区域仅表现出碰撞不稳定性,而其他区域,特别是远距离处,表现出被忽略的慢不稳定性。

英文摘要:

Determining where, when, and how neutrino flavor oscillations must be included in large-scale simulations of hot and dense astrophysical environments is an enduring challenge that must be tackled to obtain accurate predictions. Using an angular moment-based linear stability analysis framework, we examine the different kinds of flavor instabilities that can take place in the context of the post-processing of a neutron star merger simulation, with a particular focus on the collisional flavor instability and a careful assessment of several commonly used approximations. First, neglecting anisotropies of the neutrino field, we investigate the extent to which commonly used monoenergetic growth rates reproduce the results obtained from a full multi-energy treatment. Contrary to the large discrepancies found in core-collapse supernova environments, we propose a simple combination of energy-averaged estimates that reproduces the multi-energy growth rates in our representative simulation snapshot. We then quantify the impact of additional physical effects, including nuclear many-body corrections, scattering opacities, and the inclusion of the vacuum term in the neutrino Hamiltonian. Finally, we include the neutrino distribution anisotropies, which allows us to explore, for the first time in a multi-energy setting, the interplay between collisional, fast, and slow modes in a moment-based neutron star merger simulation. We find that, despite a dominance of the fast instability in most of the simulation volume, certain regions exhibit only a collisional instability, while others, especially at large distances, exhibit a slow instability that is largely underestimated if anisotropic effects are neglected.
