Supernova neutrino sensitivity of a water Cherenkov detector

POSTER

Abstract

One of the most interesting recent discoveries is that of neutrino oscillations. Even with recent progress some of the parameters of the mixing matrix, such at Theta 13, are not well-known. A galactic supernova provides the possibility to measure these parameters, as well as to determine the nature of the mass hierarchy. I will present a poster on the potential to measure these parameters using current water Cherenkov detectors such as the Super-Kamiokande detector.
