Abstract
Black hole accretion disks can form through the collapse of rotating massive stars. These disks produce large numbers of neutrinos and antineutrinos of electron flavor that can influence energetics and nucleosynthesis. Neutrinos are produced in sufficient numbers that, after they are emitted, they can undergo flavor transformation facilitated by the neutrino self interaction. We show that some of the neutrino flavor transformation phenomenology for accretion disks is similar to that of the supernova case, but also, we find the disk geometry lends itself to different transformation behaviors. These transformations strongly influence the nucleosynthetic outcome of disk winds.
