The influence of nonlinear cubic and quartic self-couplings of the scalar meson field in nuclear matter is investigated. In summing the leading tadpole corrections for the Dirac-vacuum, we compare two approaches, the modified relativistic Hartree approximation, applied to the Walecka model, and the relativistic Hartree approximation, employed to the nonlinear model, respectively. These two approaches render similar expressions for the equation of state of nuclear matter up to the fifth order in the scalar meson field. We find that, by exploring the parameter dependence of the two models, they yield similar results for the bulk static properties of nuclear matter. However, increasing the baryon density the two models start to deviate significantly, such as in the predictions for the maximal mass of a neutron star or in the role of hyperon degrees of freedom in dense matter. The results indicate that with increasing density, scalar meson self-couplings beyond the fourth order seem to play a significant role.

Abstract Massive stars can explode as supernovae at the end of their life cycle, releasing neutrinos whose total energy reaches 1053erg. Moreover, neutrinos play key roles in supernovae, heating and reviving the shock wave as well as cooling the resulting proto-neutron star. Therefore, neutrino detectors are waiting to observe the next galactic supernova and several theoretical simulations of supernova neutrinos are underway. While these simulation concentrate mainly on only the first one second after the supernova bounce, the only observation of a supernova with neutrinos, SN 1987A, revealed that neutrino emission lasts for more than 10 seconds. For this reason, long-time simulation and analysis tools are needed to compare theories with the next observation. Our study is to develop an integrated supernova analysis framework to prepare an analysis pipeline for treating galactic supernovae observations in the near future. This framework deals with the core-collapse, bounce and proto-neutron star cooling processes, as well as with neutrino detection on earth in a consistent manner. We have developed a new long-time supernova simulation in one dimension that explodes successfully and computes the neutrino emission for up to 20 seconds. Using this model we estimate the resulting neutrino signal in the Super-Kamiokande detector to be about 1,800 events for an explosion at 10 kpc and discuss its implications in this paper. We compare this result with the SN 1987A observation to test its reliability.
