1. searching for supernova neutrinos with DUNE [2]
很喜欢读费米的每日新闻。这一篇讲的是来自超新星的中微子。
DUNE scientists will study streams of neutrinos emitted by exploding stars. DUNE’s unique strength is its sensitivity to a particular type of neutrino called the electron neutrino, which will provide scientists with supernova data not available from any other experiment. Image: Fermilab
2. 细读原文[1]：
从上图[1]来看，原来这一切，都发生在很短的时间间隔。这对探测器的时间分辨有比较高的要求。要看到“core bounce” 阶段，时间分辨要达到 0.01 秒的量级才行呢。LAMOST，拍摄的是分钟级别的照片，只能看出时间累积后的结果。
- 中微子的能量，在 0 - 50 MeV 范围，主要在 〜 10 MeV。

Questions:
- How often do we expect to see a supernova explosion in the milky way galaxy? We were lucky to see two dozen neutrinos from the 1987A supernova. If we expect 1 explosion in about 100 years, it might be a very long wait before we catch the next one.
