Ars Technica reports on a paper being released by Physical Review D that suggests neutrino flavor-switching may explain discrepancies between observed and predicted supernova rates. Current models don't account for neutrinos' ability to change identity, a fundamental feature of these particles.
“Neutrinos play a key role in our current models of supernovae, and right now, those models don't take into account one of neutrinos' most striking features: their ability to change identity.”
