A black hole of light only, has its name - Kugelblitz. When you have enough dense light, a black hole is normally formed and has this cool name - Kugelblitz!

The black hole of almost exclusively neutrinos, what is its name? I googled a little but haven't found anything yet.

By analogy, Kugelneutrino. Or maybe "kugelnichts" or "kugellangweiligkeit."

Google has no reference to Kugelneutrino until this will be indexed. Okay.

I wonder if a Kugelneutrino exits. Enough supernovas, maybe a million, spaced on a large sphere, igniting simultaneously for a sphere centered observer, would send a lot of neutrinos in all directions. In the sphere center their combined mass should stop them making a Kugelneutrino.

Reminds me of this paper,

it was proposed that a black hole could be artificially created by firing a huge number of gamma rays from a spherically converging lasers. The idea is to pack so much energy into such a small space that a black hole will form.
