Scientific paper

Core-collapse supernovae are some of the most energetic explosions in the Universe. During the collapse 99 % of the energy is lost by neutrino emission. The dynamics of the explosion is highly sensitive to neutrino scattering from the stellar medium. We use molecular dynamics simulations to calculate ion structure factors, neutrino-nucleus scattering cross sections, and neutrino mean free paths. We find clear differences in the neutrino mean free path when the medium is composed of a mixture of ions compared with a medium composed of a single ion species.
