✦ Synopsis

The Weyl equation has been used to study the interaction of a neutrino flux with a plasma in a stellar medium. The resulting collective stimulated scattering of the neutrino by the plasma is described by a cubic dispersion relation, which is solved numerically and analytically which gives a maximum growth rate structurally identical to growth rate obtained by w Ž .
