Abstract

Expressions for the probability per unit time of the emission of a Langmuir wave by both massive and massless neutrinos moving in a medium are derived using finite-temperature field theory. A comparison between this process and the analogous emission from an electron is made, and possible implications of this process for the explosion mechanisms of type II supernovae are briefly discussed.
