摘要:Neutrinos are the only particles able to reach the earth straight from the center of a core-collapse
supernova. But the information that can be gathered from their signal in a terrestrial detector
is limited by the fact that little experimental data on neutrino-nucleus interactions exists and by
uncertainties in theoretical calculations. Neutrino oscillations are a further complication : the energy
distribution of the neutrinos in a terrestrial detector will be different from the spectrum with
which these neutrinos were first emitted. We show that low-energy beta-beams can provide ways
to extract information about supernova-neutrinos and their oscillations in a model-independent
way.
