On the production of high energy neutrinos in relativistic supernova shock waves
Abstract
The possibility of producing high energy neutrinos (greater than 10 GeV) in relativistic supernova shock waves is considered. It is shown that even if the dissipation in such shocks is due to hard hadron-hadron collisions, the resulting flux of neutrinos is too small to be observed by currently envisioned detectors. The associated burst of hard gamma rays, however, may be detectable.
