|  Figure 4.2: Geometrical factors for neutrinos (left) and antineutrinos (right figure), as a function of distance, in our schematic model based on binary star mergers. The two curves correspond to $G_{\nu}$ (4.38) (solid line) and $G_{\nu}^{\perp}$ (4.41) (dashed line) in the self-interaction Hamiltonian Eq. (4.37) and Eq. (4.40) respectively. Results correspond to Model C (Table 4.3). |

|  where the dependence on the emission variables is shown. The explicit expression for $\Gamma^{\perp}$ is given by Eqs. (C.9)-(C.10) C. Figures 4.2 and 4.3 show the geometrical factor (4.41) as a function of the distance travelled by the neutrinos from the neutrinospheres. The results correspond to the cases A and C (Table 4.3) which can be considered as representative of the the typical behaviors of $G_{\nu}^{\perp}$ , as we have been observing in our runs. One can see that $G_{\nu}^{\perp}$ have a similar $r$ dependence as $G_{\nu}$ (4.38), as expected. Their absolute values turn out to be suppressed by a few percents up to several factors, with respect to the $G_{\nu}$ value. As we will discuss, the $r$ dependence of $G_{\nu}$ plays a crucial role on the possibility to have multiple crossings and a nonlinear feedback mechanism in presence of helicity coherence (see Section 4.4). By including Eq.(4.41) into (4.40) one gets the same expression Eq. (4.37) for $h_{\nu\nu}^{\perp}$ with $G_{\nu_\alpha}^{\perp}$ Eq.(4.41) replacing $G_{\nu_\alpha}$ Eq.(4.36). Table 4.1 sums up the relevant quantities involved in the generalized Hamiltonian. |
