During the collapse of the unstable, degenerate core of a star undergoing a supernova, electron neutrinos are copiously produced during the neutronization of the nuclei and of the free protons. In the final phases of the core collapse, the core and mantle may become opaque to all types of neutrinos and antineutrinos, and the phase space for each neutrino species may fill up to the exclusion principle limit. Since neutrino opacities are energy-dependent, it is important to examine scattering processes whereby neutrinos can change energy and escape, if this energy is sufficiently lowered. This paper is devoted to the calculation of the rates and cross sections for electron neutrino-electron neutrino scattering, electron neutrino-electron antineutrino scattering, and electron neutrino-muon neutrino scattering.
