Investigation of Supernova neutrinos in the JUNO detector — •Shivani Ramachandran, Thilo Birkenfeld, Achim Stahl, Christopher Wiebusch, and Sivaram Yogathasan — III. Physikalisches Institut B, RWTH Aachen University

The Jiangmen Underground Neutrino Observatory (JUNO) is a 20 kt liquid scintillator reactor neutrino experiment, currently under construction in China. Its main physics goal is the determination of the neutrino mass hierarchy with a large fiducial volume and an energy resolution of 3%/√MeV. Multiple channels, such as the inverse beta decay (IBD), neutrino-proton elastic scattering (pES), neutrino-electron elastic scattering (eES) as well as neutrino charged current (CC) and neutral current (NC) interactions on carbon will contribute to the measurement of neutrinos. The detector response to various supernova explosion models is studied via the JUNO detector simulation. Trigger settings are investigated for the future discovery of such supernova events.
