Abstract
The duration of the neutrino burst observed by Kamiokande II and IMB h as been used to deduce upper bounds on novel long-range forces couplin g supernova neutrinos and electrons in our galaxy. Consequences of pos sible existence of such forces, mediated by leptonic photons, on matte r-enhanced neutrino flavor transformation in the core of the nascent n eutron star and its surrounding mantle, are analyzed.
