Neutrino propagation and spin zero sound in hot neutron matter with Skyrme interactions

We present microscopic calculations of neutrino propagation in hot neutron matter above the nuclear density within the framework of the random phase approximation. Calculations are performed for nondegenerate neutrinos using various Skyrme effective interactions. We find that for densities just abov...
