Neutrino Processes with Hot Nuclei in Supernovae

Abstract

In this paper, we calculate cross sections for charged-current neutrino-nucleus processes occuring under presupernova conditions. To treat thermal effects we extend self-consistent Skyrme-QRPA calculations to finite temperature by using the formalism of thermo field dynamics. The numerical results are presented for the sample nuclei, ${}^{56}$Fe and ${}^{82}$Ge
