Sonoda, Hidetaka, Watanabe, Gentaro, Sato, Katsuhiko, Takiwaki, Tomoya, Yasuoka, Kenji, Ebisuzaki, Toshikazu
Nuclear ``pasta'', nonspherical nuclei in dense matter, is predicted to occur in collapsing supernova cores. We show how pasta phases affect the neutrino transport cross section via weak neutral...
