In high energy astrophysical processes involving compact objects, such as core-collapse supernovae or neutron star mergers, neutrinos are likely to play an important role in the synthesis of nuclides. Neutrinos in these environments can experience collective flavor oscillations driven by neutrino-neutrino coherent forward scattering. Recently, there has been interest in exploring potential...
The remnant black-hole accretion disk system that results from binary neutron star mergers has proven to be a promising site for the synthesis of the heaviest elements through the rapid neutron capture process (r-process). One of the key quantities determining the extent to which these sites are capable of producing a full r-process pattern is the neutron richness of the ejecta, which is...
