Neutrino Signatures of One Hundred 2D Axisymmetric Core-Collapse Supernova Simulations

Understand

We present in this paper a public data release of an unprecedentedly-large set of core-collapse supernova (CCSN) neutrino emission models, comprising one hundred detailed 2D-axisymmetric radiation-hydrodynamic simulations evolved out to as late as ~5 seconds post-bounce and spanning a extensive range of massive-star progenitors.

• The motivation for this paper is to provide a physically and numerically uniform benchmark dataset to the broader neutrino detection community to help it characterize and optimize subsurface facilities for what is likely to be a once-in-a-lifetime galactic supernova burst event.
• With this release we hope to 1) help the international experiment and modeling communities more efficiently optimize the retrieval of physical information about the next galactic core-collapse supernova, 2) facilitate the better understanding of core-collapse theory and modeling among interested experimentalists, and 3) help further integrate the broader supernova neutrino community.
