McDonald Institute Seminar Series

Location: Queen's: STI 501 / YouTube

Date: March 12, 2026

Time: 12:30pm - 1:30pm

Dr. Anna Suliga is a postdoctoral fellow with the Neutrino Theory Network (NTN) at the Center for Cosmology and Particle Physics, New York University.

New Neutrino Interactions and Core-Collapse Supernovae

Abstract:

In this talk, I will first discuss how the lepton-number neutrino self-interactions can affect the dynamics of the collapsing supernova core. Following, I will show how the non-standard neutrino-quark interactions affect the pre-neutrinozation neutrino signal from the core-collapse supernova. Next, I will demonstrate how the neutral-current channels in the large-scale neutrino detectors and large-scale dark matter detectors are ideal to identify such signals as they resist any neutrino flavor conversions degeneracies.

The McDonald Institute seminar will be held in Stirling 501 and streamed live to the McDonald Institute YouTube channel.
