Neutrino transport with Monte Carlo method: II. Quantum Kinetic Equations

Understand

Neutrinos have an unique quantum feature as flavor conversions.

• Recent studies suggested that collective neutrino oscillations play important roles in high-energy astrophysical phenomena.
• Quantum kinetic equation (QKE) is capable of describing the neutrino flavor conversion, transport and matter collision self-consistently.
• However, we have experienced many technical difficulties in their numerical implementation.
