Description
Supernova neutrinos can excite the nuclei of different detector materials beyond their neutron emission thresholds through the charged current and neutral current interactions. The emitted neutrons, if detected, can be a signal for the supernova event. In this talk we shall discuss some results for the lead and iron detectors using the realistic neutrino fluxes and energies given by Basel/Darmstadt simulations for a 18 solar mass progenitor supernova.
