Features in the energy and time distributions of neutrinos from a supernova burst and their detection with a multi-kiloton liquid argon detector

ORAL

Abstract

A multi-kiloton underground liquid argon detector will be an invaluable tool for investigating supernova bursts, recording thousands of neutrinos from a supernova event at $10~\textrm{kpc}$ in a $40~\textrm{kt}$ configuration. In this talk we explore the capacity of such a detector to observe various core-collapse-related physics signatures. We examine the time and energy resolutions required to distinguish features in the neutrino energy spectrum as a function of time.
