Impacts of dineutrons on nuclear compositions and neutrino reactions of the core-collapse supernova
Abstract
We study the nuclear compositions and neutrino reaction rates in the central region of the core-collapse supernova, assuming the existence of dineutrons ($^2n$) and tetraneutrons ($^4n$). At 100 ms after core bounce, $^2n$ and $^4n$ are more abundant than deuterons within radii of approximately 100 km and 50 km, respectively. Compared to the model ignoring the existence of $^2n$ and $^4n$, the mass fraction of neutrons up to a radius of 100 km reduces. Hence, the neutrino absorption and antineutrino emission rates decrease by approximately 40%-50%. Conversely, those of protons, deuterons, and $^4He$ increase, leading to the increase in the neutrino emission and antineutrino absorption rates by approximately eight times within a radius of 100 km.
