Relic Supernova Neutrino Spectrum and the Nuclear Equation of State |
|
Abstract |
We examine the relic supernova neutrino spectrum as a probe of the nuclear EoS. The sensitivity to the EoS arises largely from the contribution to neutrino emission from failed supernovae (fSNe). We consider a variety of astrophysical scenarios, which include different progenitor masses for a successful explosion, the cosmological star formation rate, starbursts, quiescent star formation, and the metallicity dependence of the initial mass function. We find that the EoS signature remains robust under a variety of conditions. We demonstrate the viability of future neutrino detectors to distinguish the nuclear EoS via the relic supernova neutrino spectrum. |
