The Borexino experiment has been a member of the SNEWS group since 2009. Originally the Supernova Alarm System of the detector consisted of two modules (so-called supernova monitors) which allowed to register neutrino and antineutrino event bursts from the supernova explosion. Both monitors operated in the counting mode with the alarm rate of less than one in 10 days. No information about...
With the advent of modern neutrino and gravitational wave detectors, the promise of multi-messenger detections of the next galactic core-collapse supernova has become a certainty. These detections will give insight into more than just the core-collapse supernova mechanism: they may resolve longstanding questions about the structure of the progenitor star and fundamental neutrino physics. ...
NOvA experiment uses two segmented liquid scintillator detectors, designed to study neutrino oscillations in 2 GeV neutrino beam. However, these detectors can be used to detect neutrinos from the core collapse supernova. NOvA far detector is sensitive to the SN up to 12 kpc distance with false alarm rate of 1/week. However, using the combination of signal significance from two detectors, the...
