    A Detailed Comparison of Multidimensional Boltzmann Neutrino Transport Methods in Core-Collapse Supernovae

    The mechanism driving core-collapse supernovae is sensitive to the interplay between matter and neutrino radiation. However, neutrino radiation transport is very difficult to simulate, and several radiation transport methods of […]

    FRIB and the GW170817 Kilonova

    In July 2018 an FRIB Theory Alliance program was held on the implications of GW170817 and its associated kilonova for r-process nucleosynthesis. Topics of discussion included the astrophysical and nuclear […]

    An optimization-based approach to calculating neutrino flavor evolution

    We assess the utility of an optimization-based data assimilation (D.A.) technique for treating the problem of nonlinear neutrino flavor transformation in core collapse supernovae. D.A. uses measurements obtained from a […]
