Multi-D Full Boltzmann Neutrino Hydrodynamic Simulations in Core Collapse Supernovae and their detailed comparison with Monte Carlo method

We have developed a multi-d radiation-hydrodynamic code which solves first-principles Boltzmann equation for neutrino transport. It is currently applicable specifically for core-collapse supernovae (CCSNe), but we will extend their applicability to further extreme phenomena such as black hole formation and coalescence of double neutron stars. In this meeting, I will discuss about two things; (1) detailed comparison with a Monte-Carlo neutrino transport (2) axisymmetric CCSNe simulations. The project (1) gives us confidence of our code. The Monte-Carlo code has been developed by Caltech group and it is specialized to obtain a steady state. Among CCSNe community, this is the first attempt to compare two different methods for multi-d neutrino transport. I will show the result of these comparison. For the project (2), I particularly focus on the property of neutrino distribution function in the semi-transparent region where only first-principle Boltzmann solver can appropriately handle the neutrino transport. In addition to these analyses, I will also discuss the "explodability" by neutrino heating mechanism.
