Supernova Search with the AMANDA / IceCube Detectors

Kowarik, Thomas, Griesel, Timo, Piégsa, Alexander

Understand

Since 1997 the neutrino telescope AMANDA at the geographic South Pole has been monitoring our Galaxy for neutrino bursts from supernovae.

  • Triggers were introduced in 2004 to submit burst candidates to the Supernova Early Warning System SNEWS.
  • From 2007 the burst search was extended to the much larger IceCube telescope, which now supersedes AMANDA.
  • By exploiting the low photomultiplier noise in the antarctic ice (on average 280Hz for IceCube), neutrino bursts from nearby supernovae can be identified by the induced collective rise in the pulse rates.
