Supernova Bounds on Supersymmetric R-parity Violating Interactions
H. Nunokawa, A. Rossi, J. W. F. Valle
Abstract
We re-examine resonant massless-neutrino conversions in a dense medium induced by flavour changing neutral current (FCNC) interactions. We show how the observed νe energy spectra from SN1987a and the supernova r-process nucleosynthesis provide constraints on supersymmetric models with R parity violation, which are much more stringent than those obtained from the laboratory. We also suggest that resonant massless-neutrino conversions may play a positive role in supernova shock reheating. Finally, we examine the constraints on explicit R-parity-violating FCNCs in the presence of non-zero neutrino masses in the eV range, as indicated by present hot dark matter observations.
