Neutrinos from a future Galactic supernova will be detected by several large underground detectors, in particular by SuperKamiokande (SK) and the Sudbury Neutrino Observatory (SNO). If, as expected, the $\nu_{\mu}$ and $\nu_{\tau}$…
Nuclear reactors are a source of electron antineutrinos due to the presence of unstable fission products that undergo $\beta^-$ decay. They will be exploited by the JUNO experiment to determine the neutrino mass ordering and to get very…
