Comment on 'Ponderomotive force due to neutrinos'

Research output: Contribution to journal › Article › peer-review

Abstract

The derivation of the ponderomotive force due to neutrinos by Hardy and Melrose [Phys. Rev. D 54, 6491 (1996)] is based on a flawed analysis of the ponderomotive force concept. Their conclusions also contain an erroneous physical assumption related to the neutrino emission in supernovae. A correct analysis shows the importance of the ponderomotive force due to neutrinos in type II supernovae explosions.
