ν propagation in turbulent supernova matter

The flavor evolution of neutrinos propagating through a turbulent medium is a highly interesting and complicated problem. Depending upon the hierarchy and the properties of the turbulence, the neutrino spectral signatures of collective effects and/or shock waves in the supernova may be smothered to the point where they are unobservable in the "golden" channels (ν_e → _μ transitions) of the next Galactic Supernova Neutrino Burst. Additionally, a more comprehensive understanding of the neutrino flavor evolution in supernova matter is necessary if we wish to use neutrinos to learn about the explosion mechanism. We investigate the effects of neutrino self-interactions, MSW conversions as well as the impact of turbulence on the neutrino flavor evolution along single radial directions in turbulent dense matter, paying special attention to the combined impact of these three effects. We find that adding up to 10% turbulence leads to only minor differences in the emerging neutrino spectra, while overall features of the collective and MSW interactions remain.
