Signatures of high-energy neutrinos from sources for r-process nuclei
Yongzhong Qian,
University of Minnesota,
Collapsars and neutron star mergers are similar in that both host accretion disks and jets. Both are also possible sites for production of heavy nuclei by rapid neutron capture (the r-process). High-energy neutrinos produced during jet propagation can interact with low-energy neutrinos from decay of r-process nuclei or thermal emission of the accretion disk. The potential signatures of such interaction, including hints from the IceCube data, will be discussed.
The talk is in 469 Lauritsen.
