Description

The detection of neutrinos from the next galactic supernova (SN) represents the next frontier of low-energy neutrino astronomy. I will present the physical potential of a future supernova neutrino observation to probe the SN explosion mechanism and the fundamental neutrino properties. In particular, I will discuss the surprising collective behavior of SN neutrino flavor conversions, associated with neutrino-neutrino interactions in the deepest SN regions, and their impact on the neutrino burst.
