We calculate rates of flavor exchange within clouds of neutrinos interacting with each other through the standard model coupling, assuming a conventional mass matrix. For cases in which there is an angular dependence in the relation among intensity, flavor and spectrum, we find instabilities in the evolution equations and greatly speeded-up flavor exchange. The instabilities are categorized by examining linear perturbations to simple solutions, and their effects are exhibited in complete numerical solutions to the system. The application is to the region just under the neutrino surfaces in the supernova core.

  1. Neutrino-antineutrino superfluidity

    hep-ph 2026-05 unverdicted novelty 7.0

    Pairing instabilities in neutrino plasmas arise only with occupation number discontinuities and are spurious artifacts of energy discretization that disappear in the continuum.

  2. Neutrino Flavor Transformation in Collapsing Supermassive Objects

    astro-ph.CO 2026-05 unverdicted novelty 6.0

    MSW resonances in collapsing supermassive stars swap neutrino flavors adiabatically in the normal hierarchy for neutrinos and inverted hierarchy for antineutrinos, altering the initial 5:1 electron-to-muon/tau flux ratio.

  3. Matter- and magnetically-driven flavor conversion of neutrinos in magnetorotational collapses

    astro-ph.HE 2026-03 unverdicted novelty 6.0

    In magnetorotational stellar collapses, neutrinos undergo resonant flavor conversion in matter plus magnetic-moment-driven chirality flipping for Majorana neutrinos, producing orientation-dependent event rates at dete...

  4. Bifurcated Impact of Neutrino Fast Flavor Conversion on Core-collapse Supernovae Informed by Multi-angle Neutrino Radiation Hydrodynamics

    astro-ph.HE 2026-01 unverdicted novelty 6.0

    Fast flavor conversion of neutrinos bifurcates supernova explosion outcomes: it aids shock revival in low-mass progenitors but inhibits it in higher-mass ones, controlled by mass accretion rate.
