Sato, PRC 80, 035802 (2009) In many simulations, supernova doesn’t explode ! extra assistance needed for re-accelerating shock-wave ★ neutrino absorption on nucleon (main) ★ neutrino scattering or absorption on nuclei (extra agent) Neutrino-deuteron reaction as heating mechanism in Supernova

Supernova profile Sumiyoshi, Röpke, PRC 77, 055804 (2008) 150 ms after core bounce Nuclear statistical equilibrium assumed
25
Result Surface region of proto-neutron star Inner region of proto-neutron star Deuteron can be largely modified, or even doesn’t exist ”deuteron” as two-nucleon correlation in matter More elaborate approach based on thermodynamic Green’s function (S. Nasu, PhD work in progress)
26
electron capture NN fusion e - p, e + e - : Bruenn, ApJS 58 (1985) NN brem: Friman et al, ApJ 232 (1979) Q (e - p) > Q(e - d) > Q (NN d) Deuterons exit at the cost of the proton abundance + (e - p) > (e - d) Effectively reduced e emissivity less flux, -heating, slower deleptonization & evolution of proto-neutron star Need careful estimate of light element abundance & emissivity e -emissivity
27
positron capture NN fusion e -emissivity _ Q (e + n) > Q(e + d) > Q (NN d)
28
Change of e emissivity due to deuteron Q(N+d) / Q(N) e e _ Mass fraction d p Deuterons exit at the cost of the proton abundance + (e - p) > (e - d) Effectively reduced e emissivity p (w.o. d fraction)
29
e -emissivity _ (inner region proto-neutron star) np d e e can be very important ! _ e+e-e+e- NN brems
30
-emissivity Q (NN brem) ≈ Q (np d) Whenever NN brem is important, np d can be also important Possible important role in proto-neutron star cooling
31
Meson exchange current effect on Q Large effect on NN fusion !
32
Why so large meson exchange current effect ? ★ Higher NN kinetic energy causes large exchange current effect ★ Axial exchange current & higher partial waves are important ; uncertainty
33
Deuteron breakup ( -heating) & formation ( -emission) in SN Framework : NN wave functions based on high-precision NN potential + 1 & 2-body nuclear weak currents (tested by data) -heating: Substantial abundance of light elements (NSE model) for deuteron : much larger than those for 3 H, 3 He, 4 He 25-44% of for the nucleon Summary
34
-emission: New agents other than direct & modified Urca, NN bremsstrahlung Emissivities Rigorous evaluation of nuclear matrix elements No long wave length limit, no Born approximation Electron captures effectively reduced e emissivity Need careful estimate of light element abundance & emissivity NN fusions np d can be very important for e & emissivites play a role comparable to NN bremsstrahlung & modified Urca _ _ Summary
35
Future work Similar calculations of emissivites for modified Urca NN bremsstrahlung rigorous few-body calculation is still lacking SN et al. in progress Elaborate treatment for nuclear medium effects Thermodynamic Green’s function approach (S. Nasu, PhD work in progress) Useful information for supernova and neutron star cooling simulations

Compilation I : Shen EoS, N, 4 He, a heavy nucleus Compilation II : light elements abundance from Sumiyoshi & Röpke (2008) Both have the same density, temperature, electron fraction Emissivites from direct Urca, e + e - annihilation, NN brems compilation I Emissivites from election captures on d & NN fusion compilation II
