Volume rendering of the phase of a mixed component of the neutrino density matrix in neutron star merger like conditions. From Grohs et al. (2022)

This four week program brought together neutrino theorists and experimentalists, astronomers, and simulators to understand the role of neutrino oscillations in astrophysical environment. A key goal for the program was to lay the foundation for a better understanding of multi-messenger emission and nucleosynthesis from neutron star mergers and core-collapse supernovae. Week 2 had the form of a workshop, with several talks each day, while weeks 1, 3, and 4 had a less intense formal program, with two talks in the morning and a discussion session in the afternoon, to allow participants to engage in conversations and develop collaborations. The program discussed recent advances in simulation technology for both the neutrino quantum-kinetic problem and for global astrophysical simulations and we discussed new ideas to bridge the two. Participants also discussed the prospects of using future neutrino experiments and astronomical observations to probe the physics of these extreme astrophysical environments.
