Inference offers a metric to constrain dynamical models of neutrino flavor transformation
The multi-messenger astrophysics of compact objects presents a vast range of environments where neutrino flavor transformation may occur and may be important for nucleosynthesis, dynamics, and a detected neutrino signal. […]

Hyperon polarization in relativistic heavy ion collisions and axial U(1) symmetry breaking at high temperature
Experiments at the Relativistic Heavy Ion Collider have measured the net polarization of Λ and Λ ̄ hyperons and attributed it to a coupling between their spin and the vorticity […]

The Dodelson-Widrow Mechanism In the Presence of Self-Interacting Neutrinos
keV-scale gauge-singlet fermions, when allowed to mix with the active neutrinos, are elegant dark matter (DM) candidates. They are produced in the early Universe via the Dodelson-Widrow mechanism and can […]

On the Impact of Neutrino Decays on the Supernova Neutronization-Burst Flux
The discovery of non-zero neutrino masses invites one to consider decays of heavier neutrinos into lighter ones. We investigate the impact of two-body decays of neutrinos on the neutronization burst […]

Sandblasting the r-Process: Spallation of Ejecta from Neutron Star Mergers
Neutron star mergers (NSMs) are rapid neutron-capture (r-process) nucleosynthesis sites that expel matter at high velocities, from 0.1c to as high as 0.6c. Nuclei ejected at these speeds are sufficiently […]
