An new method of calculating the energy spectrum of neutrinos and antineutrinos produced in the electron-positron annihilation processes in hot stellar plasma is presented. Detection of these neutrinos, produced copiously in the presupernova which is evolutionary advanced neutrino-cooled star, may serve in future as a trigger of pre-collapse early warning system. Also, observation of neutrinos will probe final stages of thermonuclear burning in the presupernova. The spectra obtained with the new method are compared to Monte Carlo simulations. To achieve high accuracy in the energy range of interest, determined by neutrino detector thresholds, differential cross-section for production of the antineutrino, previously unknown in an explicit form, is calculated as a function of energy in the plasma rest frame. Neutrino spectrum is obtained as a 3-dimensional integral, computed with the use of the Cuhre algorithm of at least 5% accuracy. Formulae for the mean neutrino energy and its dispersion are given as a combination of Fermi-Dirac integrals. Also, useful analytical approximations of the whole spectrum are shown.

The signal produced in neutrino observatories by the pair-annihilation neutrinos emitted from a 20 $M_{odot}$ pre-supernova star at the silicon burning phase is estimated. The spectrum of the neutrinos with an average energy $sim$2 MeV is calculated
with the use of the Monte Carlo method. A few relevant reactions for neutrinos and anti-neutrinos in modern detectors are considered. The most promising results are from $bar{ u}_e + p longrightarrow n + e^{+}$ reaction. During the Si-burning phase we expect 1.27 neutrons/day/kiloton of water to be produced by neutrinos from a star located at a distance of 1 kpc. Small admixture of effective neutron-absorbers as e.g. NaCl or GdCl$_{3}$ makes these neutrons easily visible because of Cherenkov light produced by electrons which were hit by $sim$8 MeV photon cascade emitted by Cl or Gd nuclei. The estimated rate of neutron production for SNO and Super-Kamiokande is, respectively, 2.2 and 41 events per day for a star at 1 kpc. For future detectors UNO and Hyper-Kamiokande we expect 5.6 and 6.9 events per day even for a star 10 kpc away. This would make it possible to foresee a massive star death a few days before its core collapse. Importance of such a detection for theoretical astrophysics is discussed.
We discuss the photon production in the $pA$ collision in a framework of the color glass condensate (CGC) with expansion in terms of the proton color source $rho_p$. We work in a regime where the color density $rho_A$ of the nucleus is large enough t
o justify the CGC treatment, while soft gluons in the proton could be dominant over quark components but do not yet belong to the CGC regime, so that we can still expand the amplitude in powers of $rho_p$. The zeroth-order contribution to the photon production is known to appear from the Bremsstrahlung process and the first-order corrections consist of the Bremsstrahlung diagrams with pair produced quarks and the annihilation diagrams of quarks involving a gluon sourced by $rho_p$. Because the final states are different there is no interference between these two processes. In this work we elucidate calculation procedures in details focusing on the annihilation diagrams only. Using the McLerran-Venugopalan model for the color average we numerically calculate the photon production rate and discuss functional forms that fit the numerical results.
Process of muon (pion) pair production with small invariant mass in the electron-positron high-energy annihilation, accompanied by emission of hard photon at large angles, is considered. We find that the Dell-Yan picture for differential cross sectio
n is valid in the charge-even experimental set-up. Radiative corrections both for electron block and for final state block are taken into account.
We have obtained spectra of the Galactic center at energies 400-600 keV from high-resolution data acquired by the TGRS Ge spectrometer on board the WIND mission during 1995-1997. The data were obtained using an on-board occulter, and are relatively f
ree from systematics and backgrounds. Analysis of the spectra reveals a well-resolved electron-positron annihilation line at 511 keV and the associated continuum due to annihilation via positronium formation. Measurements of the line width and the line-to-continuum ratio allow some constraints to be placed on the interstellar sites where annihilation occurs.
In the hard X-ray spectra of some X-ray binaries line features around 500 keV are detected. We interpret these as arising from pair annihilation in relativistic outflows leading to a significant Doppler shift of the frequencies of the lines. We show
that a small fraction of pairs escaping the annihilation region may give rise to the radio synchrotron emission observed in Nova Muscae 1991.
