Neutrino pair bremsstrahlung and absorption (NN↔ NNνν) and inelastic scattering of neutrinos (NNν↔ν NN) are of great relevance for the generation of and energy transport by neutrinos in core-collapse supernovae. In this talk, we will show that in mixtures of protons and neutrons the interaction rates are enhanced at subnuclear densities due to the large scattering lengths. As a result, the rate for neutrino pair bremsstrahlung and absorption is significantly larger below 1013 g cm−3 compared to rates currently used in supernova simulations, which are based on the one-pion-exchange approximation. We will also show further results for neutrino interaction rates up to nuclear densities obtained in the framework of chiral effective field theory.
