Abstract: Neutrino interactions in proto-neutron star matter are a major determinant for many key properties of core-collapse supernovae (CCSNe), such as the explosion mechanism or the nucleosynthesis of heavy elements. Recent works identify a need for increasingly precise interaction rates. This work presents an alternative way to compute the relativistic Hartree response for neutrino-nucleon interactions, improving upon previously derived expressions in several aspects. The result will then be compared to the so called elastic approximation which is widely used in supernova simulations, to asses the validity and limitations of the latter.
