There is a great interest in measuring the non-electronic component of neutrinos from core collapse supernovae by observing, for the first time, also neutral-current reactions. In order to assess the physics potential of the ultra-pure…
Measuring the electron antineutrino component of the cosmic diffuse supernova neutrino background (DSNB) is the next ambitious goal for low-energy neutrino astronomy. The largest flux is expected in the lowest accessible energy bin.…
Neutrino interactions with lead produce neutrons in numbers that depend on neutrino energy and type. A detector based on lead perchlorate, for example, would be able to measure the energy deposited by electrons and gammas in coincidence…

The IceCube Neutrino Observatory is highly sensitive to neutrino bursts of $\mathcal{O}$(10) MeV energy that are would be generated by core collapse supernovae in our Galaxy. It will resolve temporal structures in supernova light curves…
Now that PeV neutrinos have been discovered by IceCube, we optimistically entertain the possibility that neutrinos with energy above 100 PeV exist. We evaluate the dependence of event rates of such neutrinos on the neutrino-nucleon cross…

A supernova event in our own galaxy will result in a large number of neutrinos detected on Earth within the time-frame of a few seconds. These neutrinos will have been produced thermally with, in principle, three distinct temperatures for…
Dark photons, hypothetical feebly interacting massive vector bosons, appear in many extensions of the Standard Model. This study investigates their production and subsequent decay during supernova explosions. We demonstrate that the decay…

We propose a novel method to probe the cosmic neutrino background (CNB) which has been shown to be accumulated on the surface of the earth. If such relic neutrino carries non-zero electric charge, Mach-Zehnder interferometer offers a…
Resonant interactions between neutrinos from a Galactic supernova and dark matter particles can lead to a sharp dip in the neutrino energy spectrum. Due to its excellent energy resolution, measurement of this effect with the JUNO experiment…
We provide a method for extracting information on the energy spectrum of solar neutrinos directly from the spectrum of scattered electrons. As an example, we apply it to the published Super-Kamiokande data. When combined with data from SNO…
Neutrinos are guaranteed to be observable from the next galactic supernova (SN). Optical light and gravitational waves are also observable, but may be difficult to observe if the location of the SN in the galaxy or the details of the…
The IceCube Neutrino Observatory detects neutrinos at energies orders of magnitude higher than those available to current accelerators. Above 40 TeV, neutrinos traveling through the Earth will be absorbed as they interact via charged…
