Thesis
Pre-supernova neutrinos at Super-Kamiokande with gadolinium
- Abstract:
-
Supernova detection is a major objective of the Super-Kamiokande (SK) ex- periment. In the next stage of SK (SK-Gd), gadolinium (Gd) sulfate will be added to the detector, which will improve the ability of the detector to iden- tify neutrons. A core-collapse supernova will be preceded by an increasing flux of neutrinos and anti-neutrinos, from thermal and weak nuclear pro- cesses in the star, over a timescale of hours; some of which may be detected at SK-Gd. This could provide an early war...
