Description
Hyper-Kamiokande is a next generation neutrino and nucleon decay experiment that is expected to start taking data in 2027. In this talk, I will introduce the experiment and discuss its capability to detect neutrinos from the next galactic supernova and how well this lets us identify the most realistic computer model of the supernova explosion. Finally, I will discuss upgrades to the SuperNova Early Warning System (SNEWS)—a network of neutrino detectors that will give astronomers advance notice when the next galactic supernova occurs.
