Neutrinos from core-collapse supernovae at KM3NeT

The SN1987A supernova was the first extragalactic neutrino de- tection, but no further observations have been made since. Detecting neutrinos from a galactic supernova would provide invaluable information on the supernova mechanism and particle behavior in dense environments, hence, improving the sen...

description The SN1987A supernova was the first extragalactic neutrino de- tection, but no further observations have been made since. Detecting neutrinos from a galactic supernova would provide invaluable information on the supernova mechanism and particle behavior in dense environments, hence, improving the sensitivity of current and upcoming neutrino experiments is crucial. In this contribution, we discuss how the optical module design of the KM3NeT neutrino experiment would allow to observe supernova neutrinos. We present KM3NeT’s sensitivity to galactic supernovae and describe its associated online alert system for multi-messenger studies. Finally, we discuss KM3NeT’s ability to infer the supernova evolution from the time profile of the associated neutrino emission.
