Dense astrophysical environments such as core-collapse supernovae are profuse sources of neutrinos. When the neutrino flux is sufficiently intense, those neutrinos can undergo collective flavor transition, the so-called fast flavor conversions (FFCs), which have been found to generally exist in supernovae. In this work, we present a comprehensive study of the FFCs by solving the multi-energy and multi-angle quantum kinetic equations based on a static and spherically symmetric CCSN matter background profile. We investigate the emergence and evolution of FFCs. We also assess their potential impacts on the neutrino heating mechanism and nucleosynthesis.
