Description
Neutrinos have played a key role in astrophysics, from the
characterization of nuclear fusion processes in the Sun to the
observation of supernova SN1987A and multiple extragalactic events. The
Super-Kamiokande experiment has played a major part in past in these
astrophysical studies by investigating low energy O(10)~MeV neutrinos
and currently exhibits the best sensitivity to the diffuse neutrino
background from distant supernovae. Here, I present an overview of the
search for the diffuse supernova background in Super-Kamiokande, and
discuss how the current strategies will evolve after the SuperK-Gd upgrade.
