Tomography of the Earth’s Core Using Supernova Neutrinos
We investigate the possibility to use the neutrinos coming from a future galactic supernova explosion to perform neutrino oscillation tomography of the Earth’s core. We propose to be using existing or planned detectors, resulting in an additional payoff. Provided that all of the discussed uncertainties can be reduced as expected, we find that the average densities of the Earth’s inner and outer...
متن کاملCore-collapse supernova neutrinos and neutrino properties
Core-collapse supernovae are powerful neutrino sources. The observation of a future (extra-)galactic supernova explosion or of the relic supernova neutrinos might provide important information on the supernova dynamics, on the supernova formation rate and on neutrino properties. One might learn more about unknown neutrino properties either from indirect effects in the supernova (e.g. on the exp...
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 کاملČerenkov radiation by neutrinos in a supernova core
Neutrinos with a magnetic dipole moment propagating in a medium with a velocity larger than the phase velocity of light emit photons by the Čerenkov process. The Čerenkov radiation is a helicity flip process via which a lefthanded neutrino in a supernova core may change into a sterile right-handed one and free-stream out of the core. Assuming that the luminosity of such sterile right-handed neu...
متن کاملGeotomography with solar and supernova neutrinos
We show how by studying the Earth matter effect on oscillations of solar and supernova neutrinos inside the Earth one can in principle reconstruct the electron number density profile of the Earth. A direct inversion of the oscillation problem is possible due to the existence of a very simple analytic formula for the Earth matter effect on oscillations of solar and supernova neutrinos. From the ...
