We investigate the neutrino elastic differential cross section (NDCS) and corresponding mean free path for neutral current scattering in the dense matter of a neutron star. A wide range of observed neutron star (NS) masses is considered, including the presence of Λ, Ξ^-, and Ξ⁰ hyperons in the heaviest stars. Their presence significantly decreases the total neutrino mean free path in the heavier stars.
