Description

Core-collapse supernovae are among the most energetic processes in our Universe and play a crucial role for the chemical composition of the Universe. Neutrinos, produced in vast numbers during the collapse, offer a direct probe into the hydrodynamics and energy transport processes within a supernova. Fast-time variations in the neutrino luminosity and mean energy could carry information about phenomena like turbulence, convection, and shock revival.

In this talk, we examine the capabilities of large-volume neutrino telescopes such as the IceCube Neutrino Observatory and the planned IceCube-Gen2 detector in identifying fast-time features in the neutrino light curve.
