Detection of Supernova Neutrinos * * *

چکیده
Matter effects on neutrino oscillations in both, a supernova and the Earth, change the observed supernova neutrino spectra. We calculate the expected number of supernova neutrino interactions for ICARUS, SK and SNO detectors as a function of the distance which they traveled in the Earth. Calculations are performed for supernova type II at 10 kpc from the Earth, using standard supernova neutrino fluxes described by thermal Fermi–Dirac distributions and the PREM I Earth matter density profile.

Physics and Astrophysics Opportunities with Supernova Neutrinos
Neutrinos emitted from a supernova encode useful information about neutrino physics and astrophysics. Interpreting the neutrino signal depends crucially on understanding neutrino production, flavor mixing during propagation, and detection. In this talk, we review the physics potential of a SN neutrino observation.
متن کاملDetection of neutrinos from supernovae in nearby galaxies.
While existing detectors would see a burst of many neutrinos from a Milky Way supernova, the supernova rate is only a few per century. As an alternative, we propose the detection of approximately 1 neutrino per supernova from galaxies within 10 Mpc, in which there were at least 9 core-collapse supernovae since 2002. With a future 1 Mton scale detector, this could be a faster method for measurin...

3 Institute of Theoretical Physics, Chinese Academy of Sciences, Beijing 100080, China Abstract We calculated the matter effect, including both the Earth and supernova, on the detection of neutrinos from type II supernovae at the proposed Daya Bay reactor neutrino experiment. It is found that apart from the dependence on the flip probability PH inside the supernova and the mass hierarchy of neu...
متن کاملConstraining absolute neutrino masses via detection of galactic supernova neutrinos at JUNO
A high-statistics measurement of the neutrinos from a galactic core-collapse supernova is extremely important for understanding the explosion mechanism, and studying the intrinsic properties of neutrinos themselves. In this paper, we explore the possibility to constrain the absolute scale of neutrino masses mν via the detection of galactic supernova neutrinos at the Jiangmen Underground Neutrin...
متن کاملEstimating the Explosion Time of Core-collapse Supernovae from Their Optical Light Curves
Core-collapse supernovae are among the prime candidate sources of high energy neutrinos and gravity waves. The detection prospects for neutrinos and gravity waves can be greatly enhanced through cross-correlation with the well established optical photon signal. The significance of the correlation improves with the resolution on the supernova explosion time determined from the optical data. We p...
متن کاملDetection of supernova neutrinos by neutrino-proton elastic scattering
We propose that neutrino-proton elastic scattering, n1p→n1p , can be used for the detection of supernova neutrinos in scintillator detectors. Though the proton recoil kinetic energy spectrum is soft, with Tp .2En /M p , and the scintillation light output from slow, heavily ionizing protons is quenched, the yield above a realistic threshold is nearly as large as that from n̄e1p→e1n . In addition,...
