Thermonuclear Supernova Neutrino Signals in JUNO — Max Büsken1, Florian Kiel1, Livia Ludhova2, •Josina Schulte1, Achim Stahl1, Jochen Steinmann1, and Christopher Wiebusch1 — 1III. Physikalisches Institut B, RWTH Aachen University — 2Institut für Kernphysik, Forschungszentrum Jülich
JUNO (Jiangmen Underground Neutrino Observatory) is a 20kt liquid scintillator-based detector currently under construction in China. The main goal is the determination of the neutrino mass hierarchy, but the large mass and the good energy resolution make it possible to also investigate astrophysical processes - such as supernovae. Neutrino models of core-collapse supernovae have been investigated thoroughly though the exact mechanism of thermonuclear supernovae is still a mystery. The neutrino signal of a type Ia supernova could help in the understanding of the explosion mechanism at the end of a white dwarfs’ life. The prominent neutrino interactions in JUNO and the final rates will be discussed.
