Scientific paper

The effect of post core-collapse accretion on the magnetic field (MF) of a new born neutron star (NS) is considered. If this accretion is hypercritical than any initially in the NS matter frozen in MF will be submerged beneath the accreted matter. If the accreted matter is non magnetized, NS produced by SN in which hypercritical accretion occured are born with weak surface MF. This mechanism may contribute to the deficit of observed PSR in SNR and may also explain the discrepancy between the estimated PSR birthrate and type Ib + II SN rates. The dependence of the re-diffusion of the submerged MF on the fall-back accretion is discussed too.
