Detection of Supernova Neutrinos on the Earth for Large θ_(13)

Supernova （SN） neutrinos detected on the Earth are subject to the shock wave effects, the Mikheyev- Smirnov-Wolfenstein （MSW） effects, the neutrino collective effects and the Earth matter effects. Considering the recent experimental result about the large mixing angle 013 （-8.8°） provided by the Daya Bay Collaboration and applying the available knowledge for the neutrino conversion probability in the high resonance region of SN, PH , which is in the form of hypergeometric function in the case of large 813, we deduce the expression of PH taking into account the shock wave effects. It is found that PH is not zero in a certain range of time due to the shock wave effects. After considering all the four physical effects and scanning relevant parameters, we calculate the event numbers of SN neutrinos for the ＂Garehing＂ distribution of neutrino energy spectrum. From the numerical results, it is found that the behaviors of neutrino event numbers detected on the Earth depend on the neutrino mass hierarchy and neutrino spectrum parameters including the dimensionless pinching parameter βa （where a refers to neutrino flavor）, the average energy 〈Ea〉, and the SN neutrino luminosities La. Finally, we give the ranges of SN neutrino event numbers that will be detected at the Daya Bay experiment.

Detection of Supernova Neutrinos on the Earth for Large θ13

Supernova (SN) neutrinos detected on the Earth are subject to the shock wave effects, the Mikheyev-Smirnov-Wolfenstein (MSW) effects, the neutrino collective effects and the Earth matter effects. Considering the recent experimental result about the large mixing angle θ₁₃ (≈ 8.8°) provided by the Daya Bay Collaboration and applying the available knowledge for the neutrino conversion probability in the high resonance region of SN, P_H, which is in the form of hypergeometric function in the case of large θ₁₃, we deduce the expression of P_H taking into account the shock wave effects. It is found that P_H is not zero in a certain range of time due to the shock wave effects. After considering all the four physical effects and scanning relevant parameters, we calculate the event numbers of SN neutrinos for the "Garching" distribution of neutrino energy spectrum. From the numerical results, it is found that the behaviors of neutrino event numbers detected on the Earth depend on the neutrino mass hierarchy and neutrino spectrum parameters including the dimensionless pinching parameter β_α (where α refers to neutrino flavor), the average energy < E_α >, and the SN neutrino luminosities L_α. Finally, we give the ranges of SN neutrino event numbers that will be detected at the Daya Bay experiment.
