Overview
Explore the fascinating world of supernova neutrinos in this 41-minute conference talk by George Fuller from UCSD, part of the Interdisciplinary Developments in Neutrino Physics Conference. Delve into the pre-collapse evolution, collapse in-fall, shock propagation and stall, neutrino re-heating, and neutrino signal detection. Examine both classical and coherent approaches, as well as full quantum solutions using Quantum Kinetic Equations (QKE). Gain insights into the early universe and the interdisciplinary nature of modern neutrino physics, including connections to gravitational waves, cosmology, and astrophysics. Enhance your understanding of neutrino detectors as astrophysical observatories and the latest developments in neutrino cross-sections and sterile neutrino searches.
