Description
We present neutrino-transport calculations for core-collapse supernova explosions (CCSNe), treating both degenerate and non-degenerate baryonic matter. Because neutrino–nucleon interactions are strongly affected by baryon degeneracy through Pauli blocking, the high-density region near the neutrinosphere requires careful phase-space integrations for the participating nucleons.
To address this issue, we develop a hybrid model that includes nucleon-degeneracy effects in Urca processes and neutrino-pair production within the neutrino-transport equation. The resulting CCSN simulations yield the evolution of the proto-neutron-star radius and shock-wave radius, and demonstrate the impact of baryon degeneracy on neutrino propagation.
