<p>Hi all,</p>
<p><br>
</p>
<p>We will continue our PASS talks this Monday with a talk by Nika
about Supernovae and detection of Neutrinos with a Dark Matter
detector. Please join us on <b>October 21st (Monday)</b> at <b>noon</b>
(from 12:00 pm to 1:00 pm) in the <b>Nebula Room</b> (PHYS 3027).</p>

<p align="center">During a supernova explosion, a significant
portion of its energy is released in the form of neutrinos.
Neutrinos of all flavors escape the core well before any light. If
detected, they can provide crucial information about stellar core
collapse and its mechanisms. Future large scintillator detectors,
designed for direct dark matter searches, will be sensitive to
supernova neutrinos via coherent elastic neutrino-nucleus
scattering (CEvNS), opening new avenues in the multimessenger
approach to supernova physics.<br>
<br>
The DarkSide-20k experiment shows great promise due to its ability
to detect neutrinos through both the CEνNS and charge current (CC)
40Ar(νe, e)40K channels. The CEνNS channel provides a flavor-blind
measurement of the neutrino signal, enabling the normalization of
the total supernova neutrino flux, while the charge current
channel offers a distinct energy spectrum and exclusively detects
the electron neutrino component. Thus, neutrino detection via
these two channels presents a unique opportunity to explore both
supernovae and neutrino physics.<b><br>
