Supernova Relic Neutrino Search with Neutron Tagging at Super-Kamiokande-IV
A search for Supernova Relic Neutrinos ν̄e’s is first conducted via inverse-beta-decay by tagging neutron capture on hydrogen at Super-Kamiokande-IV. The neutron tagging efficiency is determined to be (17.74 ± 0.04stat. ± 1.05sys.)%, while the corresponding accidental background probability is (1.06 ± 0.01stat. ± 0.18sys.)%. Using 960 days of data, we obtain 13 inverse-beta-decay candidates in t...
متن کاملThe Supernova Relic Neutrino Backgrounds at KamLAND and Super-Kamiokande
We calculate the Supernova Relic Neutrino (SRN) background flux for the KamLAND and Super-Kamiokande (Super-K) detectors, motivated by the reduction in background at Super-K and new results for the star formation history (e.g., from the Sloan Digital Sky Survey (SDSS)). Our best estimate for the flux at Super-K is slightly below, but very close to the current Super-K upper limit. The Super-K up...
متن کاملDirect Measurement of Supernova Neutrino Emission Parameters with a Gadolinium-Enhanced Super-Kamiokande Detector
The time-integrated luminosity and average energy of the neutrino emission spectrum are essential diagnostics of core-collapse supernovae. The SN 1987A electron antineutrino observations by the Kamiokande-II and IMB detectors are only roughly consistent with each other and theory. Using new measurements of the star formation rate history, we reinterpret the Super-Kamiokande upper bound on the e...
متن کامل2 4 Se p 20 09 Search for Astrophysical Neutrino Point Sources at Super - Kamiokande
It has been hypothesized that large fluxes of neutrinos may be created in astrophysical “cosmic accelerators.” The primary background for a search for astrophysical neutrinos comes from atmospheric neutrinos, which do not exhibit the pointlike directional clustering that characterizes a distant astrophysical signal. We perform a search for neutrino point sources using the upward-going muon data...

متن کاملCosmological Implications of a Relic Neutrino Asymmetry
We consider some consequences of a cosmological lepton asymmetry in the form of neutrinos. A relic neutrino degeneracy enhances the contribution of massive neutrinos to the present energy density of the Universe, and modifies the power spectrum of radiation and matter. Comparing with current observations of cosmic microwave background anisotropies and large scale structure, we derive some const...
