Detecting High-Energy Neutrino Minibursts from Local Supernovae with Multiple Neutrino Observatories
Growing evidence from multiwavelength observations of extragalactic
supernovae (SNe) has established the presence of dense circumstellar material
in Type II SNe. Interaction between the SN ejecta and the circumstellar
material should lead to the acceleration of cosmic rays and associated
high-energy emission. Observation of high-energy neutrinos along with the MeV
neutrinos from SNe will provide unprecedented opportunities to understand
unanswered questions in cosmic-ray and neutrino physics. We show that current
and future neutrino detectors can identify high-energy neutrinos from an
extragalactic SN in the neighborhood of the Milky Way. We present the prospects
for detecting high-energy neutrino minibursts from SNe in known local galaxies,
and demonstrate how the future high-energy neutrino network will extend the
edge for identification of SN neutrinos
Light curves of BSM-induced neutrino echoes in the optically-thin limit
High-energy neutrinos from astrophysical transients serve as a probe of
neutrino physics beyond the Standard Model. In particular, nonstandard
interaction of neutrinos with the cosmic neutrino background or dark matter
(DM) may have imprints on not only their spectra but also the arrival and
time-delay distributions. Assuming that the interaction occurs at most once
during the neutrino propagation, we provide analytic formulas for light curves
of the neutrino echoes induced by BSM. The formulas can be used for
constraining neutrino-neutrino coupling and neutrino-DM coupling
