Core-collapse supernova neutrinos and neutrino properties

Understand

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 explosion or on in the r-process) or from modifications of the neutrino time or energy distributions in a detector on Earth.
