Description
The observation of neutrinos emerging from a core collapse
supernova will enhance our understanding of star formation, and possibly
quark matter and black hole formation. To detect relic supernovae
neutrinos, the Long Baseline Neutrino Experiment (LBNE) proposed a
Gadolinium-doped 300 kton water Cerenkov detector that will be placed
at the depth of 1480 m at the Deep Underground Science and Engineering
Laboratory (DUSEL) in South Dakota, USA. This poster gives an overview
of the detection mechanism of supernovae neutrino and the possibility
for LBNE to detect relic neutrinos from a core collapse at the center
of the Milky Way galaxy, 8.5 kpc away.
