Supernova Neutrino Detection
Astronomers expect that every 30 years or so, a massive star in our Galaxy will reach the end of its life. When the core of such a star collapses, it emits nearly all of the gravitational binding energy of a neutron star in the form of neutrinos, some Eb ∼ 3 × 10 53 ergs. Less than 1% of this energy is released in the form of kinetic energy and optically visible radiation. The remainder is radi...
متن کاملSupernova Neutrino Detection in Borexino
We calculated the expected neutrino signal in Borexino from a typical Type II supernova at a distance of 10 kpc. A burst of around 110 events would appear in Borexino within a time interval of about 10 s. Most of these events would come from the reaction channel ν̄e + p → e+ + n, while about 30 events would be induced by the interaction of the supernova neutrino flux on 12C in the liquid scintil...
متن کاملSupernova Neutrinos, Lsnd and Miniboone
The unique constraints on neutrino oscillations which can be obtained by measuring the energy spectrum of supernova ν̄e’s are first discussed. The focus is on 4-neutrino mass and mixing models capable of explaining the LSND evidence of ν̄μ → ν̄e oscillations. The potential of the Fermilab neutrino detector MiniBooNE to observe supernova neutrinos is then addressed, and a general description of the...
متن کاملPhysics potential of future supernova neutrino observations
We point out possible features of neutrino spectra from a future galactic core collapse supernova that will enhance our understanding of neutrino mixing as well as supernova astrophysics. We describe the neutrino flavor conversions inside the star, emphasizing the role of “collective effects” that has been appreciated and understood only very recently. These collective effects change the tradit...
متن کاملBackgrounds in Neutrino Appearance Signal at MiniBooNE
The MiniBooNE (Booster Neutrino Experiment) experiment is a precise search for neutrino oscillations but is crucially sensitive to background processes that would mimic an oscillation signal. The background sources include intrinsic νe from kaon and muon decays, mis-identified π , gammas from radiative delta decays, and muon neutrino events mis-identified as electrons. A summary of these backgr...
