Abstract

We study the production of electron density waves by neutrinos propagating through a plasma. We treat this process in field theoretically as a Cherenkov emission of phonons (quanta of electron density waves) by neutrinos. The energy transferred to a supernova shock wave by phonon emission from neutrinos is a factor $2\times 10^2$ times the corresponding energy deposited by plasmon (longitudinal photon) emission.
