Abstract:The asymmetry in the neutrino mean free path for the absorption reaction ν + n → e − + p, is evaluated within hot neutron matter under a strong magnetic field. We consider densities in the range 0.05 ≤ ρ ≤ 0.4 fm −3 , several temperatures up to 30 MeV and magnetic field strengths from B = 0 up to B = 10 18 G. Polarized neutron matter is described within the non-relativistic Hartree-Fock model using the LNS Skyrme interaction. The neutrino mean free path has a weak dependence with the temperature and in the str… Show more
