Abstract

Background: Inelastic neutrino-nucleus scattering through the weak neutral-current plays an important role in a stellar environment where the transport of neutrinos determines the rate of cooling. Since there are no direct experimental data on neutral-current neutrino-nucleus cross sections available, only the modeling of these reactions provides the relevant input for supernova simulations.
