Neutrino Mean Free Path in Strange Matter at High Temperatures

  • We investigate the condition that the neutrino energies Ev can be considered to be small enough to be neglected in the energy momentum conservation equation in the reactions d+ve → u+e- and u+e- → d+ve. It can be simply expressed as Ev < 4αcμe/π, where αc is the strong coupling constant and μe is the electron chemical potential. Then for Ev < 4αcμe/π, we generalize the mean free path for nondegenerate neutrinos given by Iwamoto and obtain a formula that is valid for both nondegenerate and degenerate neutrinos. We also model the mean free path for both nondegenerate and degenerate neutrinos with energies Ev < 4αcμe/π.
