In ultra dense and hot region realized in stellar core-collapse, neutrino takes major role in energy and momentum transports. We investigate the growth of magnetorotational instability (MRI) in neutrino viscous matter by using linear theory. It is found from the local linear analysis that the neutrino viscosity can suppress the MRI in the regime of weak magnetic field (B ≪ 1014G). This suggest that MHD turbulence sustained by the MRI might not be driven efficiently in the neutrino viscous media. Applying this result to collapsar disk, which is known as the central engine of gamma-ray burst (GRB), we find that the MRI can be suppressed only in its inner region. Based on this finding, a new evolutionary scenario of collapsar disk, “Episodic Disk Accretion Model” are proposed.
