Theia: an advanced optical neutrino detector
New developments in liquid scintillators, high-efficiency, fast photon detectors, and chromatic photon sorting have opened up the possibility for building a large-scale detector that can discriminate between Cherenkov and scintillation signals.

We report the first search result for the flux of astrophysical electron antineutrinos for energies ${ \mathcal O }(10)\,\mathrm{MeV}$ in the gadolinium-loaded Super-Kamiokande (SK) detector. In 2020 June, gadolinium was introduced to the ultrapure water

SNO+ sensitivities to pre-supernova and supernova neutrinos [PDF]
Core-collapse supernovae (CCSNe) deposit heavy elements into the surrounding interstellar medium, affect the chemical evolution of galaxies, and lead to the formation of exotic bodies such as neutron stars and black holes.

Core-collapse supernovae are dramatic explosions marking the catastrophic end of massive stars. The only means to get direct information about the supernova engine is from observations of neutrinos emitted by the forming neutron star, and through ...

Neutrino Physics and Astrophysics with the JUNO Detector
The Jiangmen Underground Neutrino Observatory (JUNO) is a 20 kton liquid scintillator multi-purpose underground detector, under construction near the Chinese city of Jiangmen, with data collection expected to start in 2021.

Probing non-standard neutrino interactions with supernova neutrinos at Hyper-K
Non-standard neutrino self interactions (NSSI) could be stronger than Fermi interactions. We investigate the ability to constrain these four-neutrino interactions by their effect on the flux of neutrinos originating from a galactic supernova.

Decays of supernova neutrinos [PDF]
Supernova neutrinos could be well-suited for probing neutrino decay, since decay may be observed even for very small decay rates or coupling constants. We will introduce an effective operator framework for the combined description of neutrino decay and ...

Prospects for Extending the Core-collapse Supernova Detection Horizon Using High-energy Neutrinos
Large neutrino detectors like IceCube monitor for core-collapse supernovae using low-energy (MeV) neutrinos with a detection reach from a supernova neutrino burst to the Magellanic Cloud. However, some models predict the emission of high-energy neutrinos

Geotomography with solar and supernova neutrinos [PDF]
We show how by studying the Earth matter effect on oscillations of solar and supernova neutrinos inside the Earth one can in principle reconstruct the electron number density profile of the Earth. A direct inversion of the oscillation problem is possible

Highlight Talk from Super-Kamiokande
Super-Kamiokande (SK), a 50 kton water Cherenkov detector in Japan, is observing both atmospheric and solar neutrinos. It is also searching for supernova (relic) neutrinos, proton decays and dark matter-like particles. A three-flavor oscillation analysis
