Abstract
New leptons and right-handed neutrinos, created by weak neutral currents in stellar interiors, will do much to produce a supernova explosion. I study their production and absorption mechanisms, and note that angular momentum carried by neutrinos might affect the rotation of the subsequent neutron star.Keywords
