We introduce a hybrid method to determine the neutrino mass hierarchy by simultaneous measurements of responses of at least two detectors to antineutrino and neutrino fluxes from accretion and cooling phases of core-collapse supernovae. The (anti)neutrino-nucleus cross sections for 56Fe and 208Pb are calculated in the framework of the relativistic nuclear energy density functional and weak interaction Hamiltonian, while the cross sections for inelastic scattering on free protons p(ν̄e,e+)n are…

Time dependent signatures of core-collapse supernova neutrinos at HALO
We calculate the response of a lead-based detector, such as the Helium and Lead Observatory (HALO) or its planned upgrade HALO-1kt to a galactic core-collapse supernova. We pay particular attention…
On possibility of determining neutrino mass hierarchy by the charged-current and neutral-current events of supernova neutrinos in scintillation detectors
One of the unresolved mysteries in neutrino physics is the neutrino mass hierarchy. We present a new method to determine neutrino mass hierarchy by comparing the events of inverse beta decays (IBD),…
Nuclear de-excitations in low-energy charged-current νe scattering on Ar40
Background: Large argon-based neutrino detectors, such as those planned for the Deep Underground Neutrino Experiment (DUNE), have the potential to provide unique sensitivity to low-energy ($\sim$10…
What can be learned from a future supernova neutrino detection
This year marks the thirtieth anniversary of the only supernova from which we have detected neutrinos - SN 1987A. The twenty or so neutrinos that were detected were mined to great depth in order to…

Evolution of magnetic dipole strength in Sn100−140 isotope chain and the quenching of nucleon g factors
The evolution of electromagnetic transitions along isotope chains is of particular importance for the nuclear structure and dynamics, as well as for the r-process nucleosynthesis. Recent measurement…
Magnetic dipole excitations based on the relativistic nuclear energy density functional
Magnetic dipole ($M1$) excitations constitute not only a fundamental mode of nucleonic transitions, but they are also relevant for nuclear astrophysics applications. We have established a theory…
Nuclear Equation of State in the Relativistic Point-Coupling Model Constrained by Excitations in Finite Nuclei
Nuclear equation of state is often described in the framework of energy density functional. However, the isovector channel in most functionals has been poorly constrained, mainly due to rather…

Background: In the environment of high neutrino fluxes provided in core-collapse supernovae or neutron star mergers, neutrino-induced reactions with nuclei contribute to the nucleosynthesis…
The neutrino signal at HALO: learning about the primary supernova neutrino fluxes and neutrino properties
Core-collapse supernova neutrinos undergo a variety of phenomena when they travel from the high neutrino density region and large matter densities to the Earth. We perform analytical calculations of…
Neutrino mass hierarchy and three-flavor spectral splits of supernova neutrinos
It was recently realized that three-flavor effects could peculiarly modify the development of spectral splits induced by collective oscillations, for supernova neutrinos emitted during the cooling…

We present results of large-scale numerical simulations of the evolution of neutrino and antineutrino flavors in the region above the late-time post-supernova-explosion proto-neutron star. Our…
Inclusive charged-current neutrino-nucleus reactions calculated with the relativistic quasiparticle random-phase approximation
Inclusive neutrino-nucleus cross sections are calculated using a consistent relativistic mean-field theoretical framework. The weak lepton-hadron interaction is expressed in the standard…
Neutrino mass hierarchy and stepwise spectral swapping of supernova neutrino flavors.
TLDR
Large-scale numerical calculations show that in the normal neutrino mass hierarchy case, E(C) decreases as the assumed effective 2x2 vacuum nu(e)<==>nu(mu,tau) mixing angle (approximately theta13) is decreased.
Signatures of collective and matter effects on supernova neutrinos at large detectors
We calculate the expected galactic supernova neutrino signal at large next-generation underground detectors. At different epochs after the explosion, the primary fluxes can be quite different. For…
