Scientific paper

The evolution of accretion disks in the so-called hypercritical regime, where the main source of cooling is neutrino emission, is relevant for the study of gamma ray burst (GRB) central engines. For short bursts, which may arise from compact binary merger remnant disks, no external agent feeds the disk, and when the initial mass supply is exhausted no further energy release is possible. For long bursts, possibly arising from massive rotating core collapse, the infalling envelope may supply the disk with matter and allow the energy release to continue for some time. We give here a general overview of the conditions in such disks, and present detailed calculations of their structure and evolution (for the particular case of disks arising from mergers), taking into account the effects of neutrino opacities.
